Wine doesn't recognize any fonts

Hi all,

I'm an experienced Linux user, but new to slitaz. I've installed Wine and mscorefonts on my Slitaz, and I have installed a Bible study program called BibleLightning (http://www.biblelightning.org/). The installation of this program went fine and it runs too, but Wine doesn't recognize any fonts. The font it uses is really ugly.

So to check I've installed the Windows version of AbiWord, but it also shows no fonts. I downloaded the Ubuntu font and installed it to /usr/share/fonts, ran fc-cache, but still no fonts in Wine.

Does anyone know why Wine doesn't show any fonts?

Thanks in advance!

Surely someone else uses Wine else well on Slitaz?

Slitaz-4.0 using wine-1.5.23

Open up Settings from within biblelightning by clicking the wrench head icon button.

Click the Font name: dropdown menu

What choices are there?

My system has 9 different fonts available.

Re: Wine doesn't recognize any fonts

Thanks for your answer. I only have the options "default" and "fixed" in the BibleLightning settings dialog. AbiWord doesn't show any fonts at all.

I have Slitaz 4.0 with Wine 1.2.3, show that could be the problem. How can one upgrade Wine in slitaz?

Thanks again!

Re: Wine doesn't recognize any fonts

It now works fine indeed. I had to manually copy fonts from /usr/share/fonts to /home/tux/.wine/c:/windows/fonts however, because Wine apparently doesn't recognize system fonts. But it works perfectly.

Thank you very much for your help!
