Background: I run an NT 4.0 installation that also boots to my primary Linux (Red Hat 9) sitting on a partition in a second drive. Earlier, after installing Red Hat 9, I tried to install wine, but it Had Problems, even when I tried some of the solutions. So I waited. Recently, I tried to install an updated version of wine using an rpm, so I tried to unstall the old stuff. Wouldn't uninstall, and the rpm wouldn't install. So I deleted as much as I could figure out was there, verified that the rpm still wouldn't install (I assume it is on a database somewhere), downloaded the tarball for wine 20041201 and tried to install that. Worked. But did I add bugs? The problem: Fonts stink. Menu fonts stink. More specifically, NotePad fonts stunk. Looks like a billboard through a drenched windshield with the wipers off. conf file the conf file has this: [fonts] "Default" = "-adobe-helvetica-" "DefaultFixed" = "fixed" "DefaultSerif" = "-adobe-times-" "DefaultSansSerif" = "-adobe-helvetica-" [FontDirs] "dir1" = "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TTF" ... "dir4" = "/home/david/wine-20041201/fonts/" ... That last, btw, enabled a few more fonts in the Notepad menu, but they continued ugly, but not as much. Other tries: I tried running "fnt2bdf --help" by going into the wine-20041201 folder, but "Corrupt or invalid file." was its answer. Further interesting facts: When I ssh notepad from my Mandrake laptop, I have the same problem, but when I run it on the laptop directly, there is no problem. Questions: 1. Back to my earlier question. Did I add bugs by possibly not cleaning out the old installation? 2. Is there a make file of some sort that goes with the source code of fnt2bdf? 3+. Is this perhaps a problem in Red Hat 9, or X windows, or KDE? KDE fonts look fine. If KDE is fine, can I assume that RH9 is also? How do I test X windows fonts to see if the problem is there. 4. Can I add ntfs directories into the FontDirs? or would it try to write to file? 5. What additional facts should I supply? 6. What obvious thing am I missing? <sigh> -- blessings, David L.
