Fonts ??


Fedora 11/KDE4.3

I have wine running a program in FC11/KDE4.3 when it's displayed the fonts are all messed up on Fedora/KDE.
Wine doesn't supply fonts for display in Fedora and below is the Fonts I have installed on Fedora, What could I be missing in the way of Fonts to display this Windows Program "FullTiltPoker"

What about TrueType Fonts, where do you get them for Fedora ?

I installed the FreeType1 fonts in Linux to get this Windows App. running through Wine to display clear graphics.

BUT !!

Fedora 11 /Kde-4.3

If I run a App. one time the fonts are very clear in the Windows App., but if I shut App. down and restart, the Fonts go wacky, I have to Logout of KDE or restart computer to be able to get good fonts in the Windows app. again.

it is sounding more like a graphics card and driver problem

can you post a screen shot of the "fonts are all messed "

what is your 3d cared and what driver did you install?

The only problem with that is that there is no way you can display a attachment on Linuxquestions.

And second this problem only occurs in this particular application running in Wine.

It is definitely a font problem.

If I open it one time in KDE-4.3 it displays the fonts perfectly.

If I shut it down in KDE and then try to open the Application again some of the fonts are bad.

If I log out of KDE and come back in, then run application again, the fonts are again displayed perfectly.

This problem is with fonts only, Graphics is displayed ok.

WHAT IS THIS application ?????????????????

is it this one "FullTiltPoker"
i think it might need directx 9 or 10 and/or silverlight

for direct x to run in wine you need FULL openGL 2.2 support on your 3d card.

there are many " poker" games for linux , why not use one of them.

2 points:

1) you can post an attachment. When creating a post, Go Advanced, and you should see a button somewhere near the bottom called "Manage attachments" by which you can upload an image or whatever.

2) A more informative thread title may benefit you. Something like: "FC11+KDE under Wine: Fonts all messed up!?" would serve you better

Kind regards,
Sasha

The Video card I'm using is a Ati Radeon Mobility 9200 AGP and from I can find out it has 3d cap.

Does Fedora have a driver that will run this card, I can't see anything in Fedora repo .

fedora 11 , as far as i know dose not have good 3d - if any- using an ATI card .
ATI's last driver was a POS from what i read . The built in opensource fglx driver works some what as far as i know .

but as far as FULL opengl 2.2 support ??? i do not know if that is working yet for ATI cards. ( for nvidia cards - yes ) ati ????

for poker this is what i get from yum
Code:
 yum search poker
