Summary: Core fonts don't install if they're found on the host
Product: Wine
Version: CVS
Platform: PC
URL: http://ovh.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/abiword/abiwor
d-setup-2.0.8.exe
OS/Version: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: wine-gui
AssignedTo: wine-bugs at winehq.org
ReportedBy: tkho at ucla.edu
If the MS core fonts exist on your host system (eg via the msttcorefonts deb),
the MS core fonts executables successfully run in Windows, but don't actually
place any fonts in the C:\Windows\Fonts directory.
This is a problem because less desirable fonts in that directory may take
precedence. Perhaps tt fonts on the host system should have the same precedence
as those in the windows font directory.
Background:
A fresh install of AbiWord 2.0.8 causes the menubar to be rendered in Dingbats
font, even though there is a full set of ms core fonts recognized by fontconfig.
Manually installing the core fonts (via the installer) claims to succeed, but
does not actually copy files into C:\Windows\Fonts, probably because they are
already on the host system.
The only way I could manage to successfully install the core fonts in Wine was
to remove them from the host first, after which the menus in AbiWord rendered fine.
