Same here. I installed Derive 5 with wine which worked perfect. I then copied 
the Derive ttf fonts to the X11 truetype fonts dir and they were recognized 
and setup in fonts.dir/scale by the unix font install tools.

But I did not get them shown in the derive window.

There is something working not perfect. The switches between the 2d/3d and 
algebraic windows did not work. I have to open another one then close it to 
plot a new graph in the old grafics window.

Another bug which I also found in DynaGeo another mathematical program. On 
every start of derive or dynageo a new empty part is written to the 
configuration file of each program; it's like this

[ ]

While dynageo is not confused by this derive will startup without menus and 
nothing could be done.

To clear up this situation I wrote both configuration files to a safe place 
and copy them over the configuration file on startup using a startup script.
