Can we change wineprefixcreate to copy the truetype fonts (if any) from /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TTF or /usr/share/X11/fonts/TTF or [insert distro specific X11/fonts/TTF directory] to $WINEPREFIX/drive_c/windows/fonts/ ?

------- Additional Comments From kelfe@gmx.de 2007-20-02 16:57 ------- to fix the issue you need to copy the font file arial.ttf into .wine/drive_c/windows/fonts folder (.wine is a hidden folder)
the arial.ttf can be found in the mscorefonts packages or search engine/windows box
I don't know if font files should be placed in the fonts folder by wine or by the user. So close this bug or keep it open until basic fonts are installed by wine when creating the .wine folder.

No. It's the distribution's duty to put ttf fonts in the path available through the fontconfig APIs.

Unless the game tries to read the .TTF file directly from the Windows\Fonts directory. (For e.g. "custom" rendering without GDI. I don't know if that's the case, but it's a possibility.)
-f.r.

-- Dmitry.
While testing GetTextMetric, I noticed on my Slackware machine fontconfig/fontconfig.h is in the wrong location and as a result Wine does not load any fonts through fontconfig. I'll submit a patch shortly so that ./configure warns about this.
