--- Comment #15 from Stuart Middleton Stuart@houseofanime.org 2007-08-21 14:36:03 --- That made the world of difference! As you say, simply adding the Tahoma font resolved all of the error messages bar one, and that is easily dispensed with a single click. More importantly, I tested some of the major features including navigation, downloading profiles, editing profiles and contribution profiles. All worked with only minor issues and I would raise the rating of the application from 'garbage' to boarderline 'silver'/'gold'.
Obviously more testing is required, but that really seems to have cracked it.
I don't really know what you mean about the stability though. I had some minor problems selecting some profiles where the name was too long for the display and the application ran slowly, but otherwise it worked as expected.
I'm not too sure where to fo from here. Obviously, I'll update the application DB with the workaround, but presumably the bug should remain open until WINE provides seamless Windows-like behaviour? Feel free to get back to me either here or via direct e-mail to prevent the comments from being needlessly clogged up.
P.S. If this is something where the compatibility could be improved by a minor change to the application, the developer has expressed some willingness to look into this. A nod in the right direction would be appreciated as I'm not a programmer and the developer is purely a Windows chap.
