XaraX font problems

[Bard Papegaaij]

Hi,

I'm a newbie to Wine. I run Mandrake 9.1 and have just downloaded the latest 
Wine RPM. It seemed to install fine, so I installed XaraX, my favourite 
graphics application (one of the few Windows programs I can't find a 
reasonable Linux substitute for). First tests worked fine: there are a few 
glitches (like being unable to access the web from XaraX - causes a access 
violation and crashes the program), but all the basic operations worked 
beautifully.

The problem started when I wanted XaraX to access the wide range of TTF fonts 
I have on my system. How do I do this? I tried to add a FontDirs section (I 
saw that in some documentation on the Web) pointing to my (various) font 
directories, but when I try to start XaraX then, it complains that it cannot 
find its own Xarafont and refuses to start. It advices me to install it again 
from the original Xarafont.fon file (which is stored in the XaraX directory). 
I have no idea how to do that: I tried "wine control" but that doesn't seem 
to do anything - no control panel popped up.

Questions:
- anyone running XaraX under Wine?
- how do they make XaraX access all the TTF fonts?
- did anyone solve the web-access crashes in XaraX?

Any help is appreciated.
