i have installed wine and the program is having some serious issues. it just keeps repeating the same character over and over again in all the text in the entire program. i have approached the people on the wine irc channel about this problem with no luck. below is a screen shot of the wine configuration program open and un legable.

Just thinking..... it looks like some fonts that wine uses are not installed?

i have installed all the fonts i could find on yum... any one happen to know what font is needed for wine?

found the problem.... you have to copy the font files from your existing installation of windows to your wine fonts folder and your linux font folder...

QFT!! I was trying to run Packet Tracer and it had no text, so I got all the fonts from c:\windows\fonts and put them in .\wine\c_drive\windows\fonts, and it fixed the problem.
