We shouldn't be installing fonts into c:\windows\fonts. They go into /usr/share/wine/fonts where Wine should find them (or they'll be found in the build tree if you're running straight from there).
fontforge earlier than about Jan 2006 does have some problems generating the bitmap fonts, so that may be part of your problem.
Huw.
/usr/share/wine/fonts does not exist on my system. Is this directory supposed to be created by wine/winecfg or by the make install when compiling from source.
I've compiled again from source & started with a fresh .wine directory but /usr/share/wine/fonts/ still does not exist. Are you sure that's correct or do have to manually create the directory ?
Btw, WINE finds other TrueType fonts just easily in other directories using fontconfig. (as far as I know)
