Thanks mate! I'm not really sure I am going to be able to use that workaround though. It didn't really make sense for me. I guess I need to learn more about how to use Debian properly. To be honest I have never read any of the beginner information. I am constantly badgering my L.U.G with silly questions. I have considered that LINUX is just too complicated for me on many ocasions, espescialy when trying to follow instructions like; Problem can be solved by either recompiling the wine deb package from winehq.org or either make a quick hack on the libfontconfig1 source by adding Provides: libfontconfig ...when I have not done any re-compiling, or compiling come to that matter. I don't even know what; adding Provides:libfontconfig means.... Where can I find the beginners documentation that you mentioned? JOn.
