Font / charset encoding problem?

[Joris Taupier]

I have successfully installed and launched Sibelius (music typesetting 
software) on linux (with codeweavers preview 4, w/ a fake_windows install). 
It works fairly well, and would probably deserve a 4 on the app database.  
Except for the fonts, which kind of defies the purpose of a typesetting 
software!  Here are the symptoms and some log activities :

* No musical symbols are displayed (except the ones commonly found in 
default charsets, e.g. treble/bass clefs, sharps...)

* Sibelius' standard font for notation is Opus (ttf), which registry 
is 'microsoft-symbol'.  I have installed Opus.ttf along with other 
Sibelius-related fonts so that X can see them, and they are perfectly 
displayed by xfd / xlsfonts / xfontsel

* I have tried aliases :
"Alias0" = "Opus,-macromedia-opus-*-*-*---*-*-*-*-*-*,subst"  
to no avail

* Running Sibelius from my win98 partition with ms dlls gives the same 
result

* And now the output of wine -debugmsg +fonts :

Invoking /opt/wine/bin/wine.bin -debugmsg +fonts sibelius ...

the Wine multimedia modules.
Will use the hard-coded setup, but this will disapear soon.
Please add a WinMM section to your Wine config file.

... and so on, you get the idea

Is it that wine doesn't support other font encoding tables than the 
iso-8859 charset?  Or did I forget something?  Even though you might not 
know about this particular software (but it is not the only one to screw up 
the fonts: I have tried demos of Finale, Noteworthy, Music Publisher, 
Melody Assistant... with the same problem), someone might have run into a 
similar issue with microsoft-symbol...

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated (actually, I could finally ditch my 
Win partition!)
