[Wine] Re: err:font:ReadFontDir

[Sylvain Petreolle]

I get the same behaviour, and I am compiling my own Wine for years.
The directory wasnt created by make install,
and no font was put in here.

And I really wonder why we get path like /usr/local/bin/../lib/../share
(this happens for wine processes too)
