I've just recently converted my Windows pc to Mandrake Linux & I've got everything I need working except for this software - Equis Metastock.<BR>
<BR>
I've managed to install it. However, on execution, it dies with the following msg:<BR>
"A CreateFont error occurred while loading the Symbols font: C:\Program Files\Equis\MetaStock\equis.ttf".<BR>
<BR>
On the wine console, the following msg appears:<BR>
fixme:font:CreateScalableFontResourceA (0,"C:\\Program Files\\Equis\\MetaStock\\equis.fot","C:\\Program Files\\Equis\\MetaStock\\equis.ttf",(null)):stub<BR>
<BR>
Is this a Wine deficiency, ie function not supported?<BR>
Is there a way to get around this error?<BR>
Should I lodge a wine bug report?<BR>
Should I throw in the towel as far as this pgm is concerned?<BR>
<BR>
Any help would be appreciated.<BR>
