Thank you again Ove, I am using an English language setup. I was doing a debug on the program when your message arrived. Here is an excerpt from the windebug=+fonts dump, trace:font:AddFontToList Loading font file "/home/hilary/.wine/dosdevices/c:/windows/Fonts/vgafix.fon" index 0 warn:font:AddFontToList Unable to load font "/home/hilary/.wine/dosdevices/c:/windows/Fonts/vgafix.fon"/(nil) err = 2 trace:font:AddFontToList Loading font file "/usr/bin/../lib/../share/wine/fonts/vgafix.fon" index 0 warn:font:AddFontToList Unable to load font "/usr/bin/../lib/../share/wine/fonts/vgafix.fon"/(nil) err = 1 The file vgafix.fon is in windows/Fonts, as reported earlier. I'm wondering whether the file I have is correct; it is 2.7KB dated 1994/12/08. Now, I do have a windows2000 box, so I turned it on to see if I could compare the vgafix.fon on the Ubuntu box with the windows version. I can find no vgafix.fon anywhere on the windows box. The string is found if I do a registry search on the windows box. Are these fonts available for download anywhere? I have used winetricks to install the corefonts but it doesn't install vgafix.fon.
