Hmm, running wine in console yields:

> beka at beka-kubuntu:/media/floppy$ wine install.exe
> fixme:font:CreateScalableFontResourceA (0,"c:
> \\windows\\system\\capella.fot","c:
> \\windows\\system\\capella.ttf",(null)): stub
> beka at beka-kubuntu:/media/floppy$ wine --version
> Wine 20050725
> beka at beka-kubuntu:/media/floppy$

I googled a bit about the CreateScalableFontResourceA error, but the
latest messages about this are from 2001 ?

Any more help appreciated.
Cheers,
Karl
