Summary: Use fallback fonts for MS core fonts
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.1.23
          Platform: PC
               URL: http://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-users/2009-June/0
                    55078.html
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
        AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org
        ReportedBy: leonardof@gnome.org
Many applications take for granted the availability of fonts like Arial, Times
New Roman etc. Recently, on a fresh installation, I found myself unable to use
all my regular Windows applications on Wine becaause of unreadable text, and
the issue was solved by installing the ttf-mscorefonts package.
Please make sure applications will use equivalent fonts (eg Vera, DejàVu,
Liberation) when they look for absent "core" fonts. Thanks!
