winezeug - issue #212

wingdings font alternative


Posted on Dec 18, 2010 by Massive Bear

What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. One of my app need to display "arrow" & other signs provided by wingdings font into windows; as i dont use/have windows anymore i've found that ttf-opensymbol package (ubuntu maverick i386) is an alternative. 2. So the package is installed and can be found into: /usr/share/fonts/truetype/openoffice/ as "opens__ttf". The problem is that font is not found by wine and then need to be copied into /windows/Fonts/ for working.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead? either wine might scan the whole dirs to find the available fonts, or winetricks might add "opens__ttf" font to its list. As an sub-note, i see fonts in lowercase (tahoma.ttf) others miwing lowercase & uppercase (DroidSans.ttf), and some with TTF: might they not be all in lowercase by default ? (as everything is case sensitive)

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system? wine 1.3.9 & winetricks r1905 on ubuntu maverick i386

Please provide any additional information below.

opens__ttf added to the list works smootly, thanks.

What about TTF & ttf, should not they be all lowercase ?
