Please stop the FUD, Wine has correct fonts
Good if your installation has, but according to this list many people suffer from broken fonts - as
I did for a long time until last night.
FUD: a) Familienunterstützender Dienst, b) Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt
To me, copying the fonts very much reduced my uncertainty and doubts about wine :-). (Although I
very much dislike the idea of needing an original version of that 'wide-spread OS from Redmond' to
make wine run properly.)
There are some other competely different issues that cause some 'uncertainty' for me (see
http://www.winehq.com/pipermail/wine-users/2006-September/023502.html), so by being more active on
this list I hope eventually someone will help me with that, too, and wine will become better.

Hi Piotr,
I had font-problems since version 0.9.9 (the system-font showed up in ugly "Courier"-style only).
After months of googling and finding no help at all on the wine-lists, faqs, docs, etc., late last
night I finally solved it by copying all files from an original XP's
c:\Windows\Fonts
to
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TTF/
(TTF didn't previously exist).
(Finally found it here: http://mandrivausers.org/lofiversion/index.php/t30766.html)
I can't understand why the wine developers don't care at all about fonts. Wine looks so damn wracked
and broken without proper fonts that this would even be an argument for not recommending the use of
any commercial "Xover-office" solution... Aren't there people trying to fill their stomach with that
commercial branch of wine?

Please stop the FUD, Wine has correct fonts. If your packager or
yourself can't compile Wine with the required dependencies needed to
produce correct fonts, that's not a Wine problem.
I have no XP fonts whatsoever and Wine fonts look perfect.
