I created a symlink from /usr/share/fonts/arial.ttf to C:\Windows\Fonts and now the application works.
Looks like it's the same bug but I wonder why it hasn't been fixed yet. Lots of people have Microsoft TTF fonts installed system-wide.
A system-wide install works for most applications but some read the font file directly from the Windows font directory.
Could Wine monitor such things and substitute files when necessary?
I don't think that belongs in Wine proper but it seems like a sensible thing to do for a Wine wrapper. I don't know if monitoring is necessary, just creating symlinks to various known fonts might be enough. -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply.
