Hello Jens, thank you for the quick suggestion, and sorry for my delay in replying. Here the results: When I created the folder /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TTF and copied all windows .ttf-Fonts into that folder the menus of my wine applications became ok. However, the dialog boxes still had the old malfunction (wrong font, no umlauts, distortion of boxes). After quite a bit of unsuccessful experimenting I recalled that I had read something about the font installation in the wineusr-guide, here it is: "3.3.3. Fonts Font configuration, once a nasty problem, is now much simpler. If you have a collection of TrueType fonts in Windows it's simply a matter of copying the .ttf files into c:\windows\fonts. " At the time of first reading I had not understood what folder they meant. But now, I decided that they were talking about the (debian) folder '/home/username/.wine/drive_c/windows/fonts', which is an empty folder after installation. So I moved the .ttf-Fonts from the /TTF-folder to this ~/.wine/.../ folder. Now, the menus as well as the dialog boxes were fine! But, only with the (wine provided) application 'wordpad' the menus were bad again; however wine's 'notepad' was still fine... As a remedy, I now copied the .ttf-Fonts additionally back into the TTF-folder, that is, I have them twice... Now wine wordpad is also fine (Of course, this wordpad is only a testing instrument with not very much functionality in it). So, thanks to you (and the other fellows who made good suggestions)!
