[Bug 11880] New: Wine should do something smarter when it can' t find the requested font (for Steam)
http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11880 Summary: Wine should do something smarter when it can't find the requested font (for Steam) Product: Wine Version: 0.9.56. Platform: Other OS/Version: other Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: enhancement Priority: P2 Component: fonts AssignedTo: wine-bugs(a)winehq.org ReportedBy: k_wayne(a)linuxpower.org wine seems to have come along way, especially for running steam and steam games. but it seems silly that the first problem everyone comes across trying to run steam with a fresh wine is that no fonts appear. this is because steam asks for tahoma.ttf and that isn't on most linux installations. So steam starts up with blanks where words should be. you only have to google to realise the workaround. but it would make wine alot cooler if it simply used a different font that was available on the system instead of tahoma. then many linux users wouldn't hit this first obstacle when trying to run steam -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.winehq.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.

Sorry that is not version 0.9.56 but 0.9.48 (from memory) There was certainly no tahoma replacement in that version. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.winehq.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.

Ubuntu 7.10 comes with wine 0.7.46, which is one version less than the bug was fixed. I'm sure it has been fixed.
