           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.
