[Wine] Centos + Wine + Ms Sans Serif.

[essemesmo]

Hi to all, i'm trying run a app on wine installed on Centos 5.4 I386, its call DCTF 1.8, Its a Brazilian government program.

The install it's ok, no problem but when i go run the App, its tell me i need the Ms Sans Serif Install, and install the 'Font' from 'Control Painel'.

I try copy the file mssans.ttf to the c:/windows/fonts or the files .fon,
Already try to install the msfonts or liberation. but alway i stop on this mensage.

I already run this program on Madriva 2010.1 x64.

Anybody can send a Light here.

Thx!

Wine searches for fonts in /usr/share/fonts, I believe. Try putting the TTF there instead. Make sure the font actually appears in Linux native software first to have a guarantee that Wine should be able to detect it.

Wine should search the directory where fontconfig/fontforge is looking for them. It should be what you stated as the default, Davince, but on my Mac it is a sub-directory of X11.

This is changed or set using an environment variable for FontConfig. Using the set or env command look for a line like FONTCONFIG to detect if fonts should be in a different directory. Also, fonts for Wine should be in the drive_c/windows/fonts directory, if I remember the layout of the Wine directory structure correctly.

I put the .ttf on the /usr/share/fonts/msfonts. And they appears in Linux Native Software. But still the same problem.


I look at the regedit and on fonts i got thes value
MS Sans Serif REG_SZ Z:\usr\share\fonts\msfonts\micross.ttf
MS Serif REG_SZ Z:\usr\share\fonts\msfonts\micross.ttf

And on Fonts Substitutes i got this

MS Sans Serif Liberation Serif


Some clue?

Your original post said the file was named mssans.ttf. Change the registry key to match it.

Sorry my first Post its wrong the name is micross.ttf.

On Windows, i got this tree files, micross.ttf, sserife.fon and serife.fon

So the reg is ok. Only my first post was wrong.

Hi to all, after 2 days, i figure it out.

The problem was on reg.

Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE --> Software --> Microsoft --> Windows NT --> CurrentVersion --> Fonts.

On Value "MS Sans Serif" put the value 'sserife.fon'
whitout quotes!

And all be Ok!

The file sserife.fon must be on the folder /usr/share/wine/fonts.

This file can be found on msttcorefonts package or on Windows Instalation

After all that the software run! ;)

Thx for all to try to help. And Help! :D

P.S. I do the same adjust on my Fedora 14 x64 and work!

So the resolution it's not only for Centos, fedora works to! :)
