The best bet for right now + would be to download the default fonts from microsof, although I am not sure of + the link to them + + What I may try to do is implement some sort of override for the fonts like the + dll overrides and like alexandre's .exe overrides where you have something like + + [DllOverrides] + "arial.ttf"="builtin, native" + + [fonts] + alias1=blah blah + + so that wine defaults to using the "native" font, i.e. the MS version of it, if + it exists, and if it doesn't it uses the "builtin" one, i.e. the alias for that + font in the fonts section of the config, that way users can decide which MS + fonts get used by wine and which unix fonts get subbed for the MS equivalent... + + its kinda complicated to explain, but seems like it would work... if i get a + chance to work on it... \ No newline at end of file
