	Try to install fonts from Windows by copying them from c:\windows\fonts to 
~/.wine/drive_c/windows/fonts. Or alternatively you can use winetricks for 
that by running following command:

winetricks allfonts

	If you don't have winetricks installed you can install it right now by 
running following commands:

wget http://www.kegel.com/wine/winetricks
chmod +x winetricks
sudo mv winetricks /usr/bin/

	Please run it from console (konsole or xterm) and attach its output as a file 
here. If you don't know how to run Windows programs with WINE from the 
command-line let me know, i will give you more instructions.

	AutoCAD (and other Autodesk products like 3ds max) currently doesn't work in 
WINE. Hopefully in the future WINE will support AutoCAD, 3ds max and other 
Autodesk products...
	But for now I'm afraid VirtualBox ( http://virtualbox.org ) or VMWare ( 
http://vmware.com ) are the only way to run AutoCAD in Linux.


	Thank you for using WINE.
