------- Additional Comments From vitaliy@kievinfo.com 2006-05-03 10:48 ------- You system like most others _do not_ have "System" or "MS Sans Serif" fonts. Wine has those fonts but for some reason they are not visible system wide.
That's why I asked you to copy fonts that came with Wine (lots of *fon and marlet.ttf) to ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/fonts.
Have you tried that?
