           Summary: Latest Picasa build (2.1.0 27.66) expects Arial font
                    installed by default, it calls GetGlyphOutline on it, it
                    fails but Picasa doesn't check return code and crashes
                    trying to interpret the data.
                    Picasa crashes if Arial truetype font (or a
                    substitution) is not installed
           Product: Wine
           Version: CVS
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2

Latest Picasa build (2.1.0 27.66) expects Arial font installed by default, it
calls GetGlyphOutline on it, it fails but Picasa doesn't check return code and
crashes trying to interpret the data.

Futher investigation has shown that my system doesn't have fontconfig installed
and therefore it can't find .ttf fonts (even if they are installed in the system).
Once Wine finds a .ttf font (via fontconfig or in windows/fonts) it substitutes
Arial and GetGlyphOutline succeeds, which avoids the crash.
