Here's how to get and use winetricks: Download it from http://kegel.com/wine/winetricks (right click, save as) Mark it executable (right click, properties, executable) Double-click on it Check 'corefonts' in list, then 'ok' And it should install the three most commonly used fonts. Alternate instructions for commandline people: wget http://kegel.com/wine/winetricks sh winetricks corefonts - Dan
