Just one.
"Wine is not an emulator"...

Oxford Advanced Learner's Dictionary:
=================================
emulator (n) (computing)
  A device or piece of software that enable a program
  or an item of equipment intended for one type of
  computer to be used with exactly the same results
  with another type of computer.
=================================

According to that definition, Wine IS an emulator (as long as you
consider "Windows PC" and "Linux PC" two different types of
"computers").

Seems more like a compatibility layer to me :-)

"Wine does not currently include any fonts"

Well we include clones of MS Sans Serif, System and Courier so that's
not quite true.

Huw.

Thanks for the correction.  You'd think I could do 'ls' and see 'fonts', but no.
