Yeah, sorry. That's clearly too much stuff to find what you are
looking for. My idea was that possibly you don't have a specific font
installed that Quicken is looking for so Wine is having to do some
sort of substitution for it. If you're up for it you might try
something more like:

WINEDEBUG=warn+font wine quicken

or 

WINEDEBUG=err+font wine quicken

My thought was that you could click that specific button and maybe get
some output in the script file that would tell you what you are
missing.

Maybe you should try this with some of the simple canned Wine apps -
wine notepad, wine winecfg  - and see if they have any trouble with
fonts. It would be much easier to find this on a smaller app than
quicken.

I'm an uber-beginner here so please don't take anything I'm saying as
particularly valid or intelligent.

Subject: [Wine]Re: wine config

Hello everybody,

I have followed wine's progress for quite a few time but there is something 
that I can't figure out yet. Maybe someone may explain this to me:

Wine does not use a config file anymore, does it? So if I have to tweak 
something, where should I put the adjustments? Is it still possible to use 
the config file. For instance, if I want to change the font used by a
windows 
toolbar, should I change anything in windows registries in .wine folder? 

And what if I have to make lots of dll adjustments (native, builtin)?

Actually, I believe that appropriately grepping my saved 53MB file would 
accomplish the same thing, yes?  If so, here is the output, which 
conveniently combines "warn" and "err" (again, sorry about any poor 
wrapping):

[marcw@fred marcw]$ grep -i err q20*
warn:font:AddFontFileToList Unable to load font file 
"/usr/share/fonts/msfonts/fonts.scale" err = 2

"/usr/share/fonts/msfonts/fonts.cache-1" err = 2

I'm pretty sure that I can safely ignore the first 6 items.  But the 
last 4 lines have me stumped.  I have no idea what I'm looking at or 
even if they are related to my original problem.

And thanks again for your responses.  You may be an "uber-beginner" but 
I'm an uber moron, at least when it comes to Wine.

Well, I think you're right, although that would only get one line
responses. If wine outputs a two line response then you'd miss the
second line.

Humm....I would have thought the first 6 might be clues. (What do I
know?!?!) It appears to me that Wine is looking for msfonts-style
stuff and cannot find it. I'd guess that Wine substitues something and
that maybe that substitution is what's causing the problem? This is
where deleting your 53MB file and running again might produce very
little info, but very targeted info. If this problem happens on one
page, then possibly it happens on other, smaller pages. you could move
from page to page and catch it happening and see the messages in the
terminal.

BTW - Have you read the Wine Users manual about setting up font
servers, etc.? This could be part of the problem. I run Quicken under
Crossover Office and I think they did much of this for me. I'm having
some font problems with other programs under Wine and was trying to
understand if this font server stuff was a requirement, a suggestion,
or just info...

Again, I know not of what I speak... ;-)

Well, Wine doesn't use a config file anymore by default, but still
uses a config file if you put one there. This is what I'm still doing.

I think in the long term, when the little winecfg app works, that
we'll just use it to set up Wine, but at this time I believe you still
need config to make any settings, or you'd have to do them all at the
command line which is not practical at all.

Just my understand. Not guaranteed at all.

Wine doesn't use .FON files, and I would be surprised if Quicken under 
Windows did either. Instead, try copying over all the .ttf files from a 
Windows installation to Wine. Wine does support TrueType fonts.

The current version of Wine has a few built in replacements for fonts, 
and perhaps these are too small (it seems like there have been several 
complaints lately). But if external TrueType fonts are found, Wine 
should use those.

You're right, of course.  So just to check, I ran the above two 
WINEDEBUGs.  Unfortunately, the results were identical to the grep 
output.  So we didn't learn anything new there.

The reason that I said that they were likely unimportant is that I 
believe that they are merely idicies for the real fonts that are 
contained in those directories.  Elsewhere in that large debug file, it 
appears as though the real fonts in that same dir are being loaded just 
fine.

Yes.  And I currently am already doing just that.  Fedora Core2 already 
has a font server so I had added a bunch of MS fonts long ago for an 
entirely different purpose, unrelated to wine.

I know what you mean.  Thanks anyway.

What you're saying surprises me because I got that information right out 
of the online wine manual in the referenced URL.  But even if you're 
right, it doesn't seem to make a difference either way because things 
look the same both before and after using those .FON fonts.

It seems as if wine (and Quicken) are already using the TT fonts that 
are being served up by my font server.  At least that's the impression I 
got from the debug output I ran earlier.  And the screen fonts all look 
identical to their real Windows counterparts *except* for those that I 
circled.

OK - So I am in a 'let's see what actually works under wine-20041019'
mood this week. I've currently had VERY little luck getting anything
to run, but I've been trying lots of things people don't use a lot:

Reaktor Session
Myst
Riven
Roller Coaster Tycoon
Quake
GigaSampler
GigaStudio 96
Caesar 3

Of those only Caesar 3 works correctly.

I have a copy of Quicken 2001 here in my binder. I'll try installing
it and seeing what happens. I normally run Q2004 Premier Edition under
Crossover Office, but I used to run Q2001. If I have the problem we
learn something, and if I don't have the problem we can try to figure
out what's different about our systems..

Give me a few hours...

The documentation is, unfortunately, frequently out of date. The font 
rendering in particular has changed several times over the years, but 
not the documentation.

In general, if there are any TTF fonts in your Wine c:/windows/fonts 
directory, then Wine will render those fonts directly (using Freetype) 
rather that use the X font server. That assumes you have reasonably 
recent FreeType rendering. This is actually the best way to go; it tends 
to produce better results.

That said, I wonder if perhaps this is a more subtle problem. For 
example, here is an attachment from Quicken 2002 Deluxe. It would appear 
to me that "Update" is using the very same font as "Options". And even 
on your screen shot, the same font family appears to be used for 
"Options" and "Update/Send". It appears only the point size is different.

I wonder whether there is a fixed amount of space on the button, and if 
the width of the string is to long with the normal font point sizing, 
than it might chose a smaller point size. I wonder if other buttons, 
with shorter strings, are rendered with a larger font?
