------- Additional Comments From pete4abw@comcast.net 2006-07-04 11:30 ------- It appears wine requires a newer version of fontforge. However, in configure.ac there is no test for a particular version. Thus, if fontforge 20050502 is installed, configure will not complain, but wine > 0.9.9 will not create usable fonts. Therefore, it appears the resolution is to add a test to configure.ac so that the output of fontforge --version contains 2006. This bug is resolved when wine > 0.9.9 is built with fontforge 20060114 installed.
A simple test like this works:
# if fontforge --version | grep 2006; then echo "OK"; fi
Not sure of the best way to accomplish this in configure.ac. However, some kind of test must be done.
