From a post on 1st Dec 2010:

Malcolm,
The reason you are seeing both a /usr/share/wine/fonts directory and a /usr/share/wine/fonts-old directory is because you had a software update to Wine after you did the fix to get Sailwave to work. Whenever there is an update, the /usr/share/wine/fonts directory gets re-created.

After every update of Wine, run:

sudo rm -Rf /usr/share/wine/fonts-old
sudo cp -R /usr/share/wine/fonts /usr/share/wine/fonts-old
sudo rm /usr/share/wine/fonts/ss*

Hope this helps.

I've got a more refined process that doesn't require any action after Ubuntu does an update to wine, and doesn't require you to eliminate all the standard san-serif fonts, which can be a problem for other programs that use Wine on your machine.

I'll put a tutorial together today and post it.

As for Mac, my understanding is that it requires the installation of WINE on Mac.

Any Mac users out there who can comment?

thanks andy - ill get it on the website with a
credit when done.

Okay, that was a lot simpler than I thought. Three commands and you won't have to worry about strange fonts for Sailwave on Ubuntu again, even after an upgrade.

Assuming you already have WINE installed.

Open a terminal. Enter these commands one at a time:

sudo apt-get install winetricks

winetricks corefonts

ln -s ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/Fonts/Arial.TTF ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/Fonts/sserife.fon

(Here's a little tip for using the X-terminal in Linux: You can copy these lines individually by selecting them on your browser and pressing ctrl-c, then paste them into the terminal by pressing ctrl-shift-v)

awesome, thanks andy.

Andy,

FYI - Just tested your steps on an openSuse installation (11.3 with

all latest patches) after installing latest WINE snapshot from
openSuse repositories and they worked. Don’t get just vertical bars
in drop down list box for what information to display in grid.

Andy,

Just done some more digging and found the following
  •     openSuSE 11.3 is using WINE version 1.3.19 which includes
    
    winetricks
  •     Ubuntu LTS 10.04 is using WINE version 1.2.2 which does not
    
    include winetricks
    There are instructions at WineHQ ()
    on how to upgrade WINE to a version that includes winetricks. I will
    follow them and report back.
    Kind regards,
    Huw

Just followed the instructions at WineHQ and now have Sailwave

Okay, that was a lot simpler than I thought. Three commands and you won't have to worry about strange fonts for Sailwave on Ubuntu again, even after an upgrade.
Assuming you already have WINE installed.
Open a terminal. Enter these commands one at a time:
sudo apt-get install winetricks
winetricks corefonts
ln -s ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/Fonts/Arial.TTF ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/Fonts/sserife.fon
(Here's a little tip for using the X-terminal in Linux: You can copy these lines individually by selecting them on your browser and pressing ctrl-c, then paste them into the terminal by pressing ctrl-shift-v)

Anders,

In what respect? Getting Wine working on a Mac?

Any feedback on that document I sent you ?
Kind regards,

Huw,
I guess I was assuming that if you had Wine installed on Ubuntu, you also were using the Wine repository.

If it was installed another way, You'll have to make sure the correct respositories are installed:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install winetricks

Let me know if this works for you on your 10.04 system. Glad to hear that it worked on OpenSuse.

Andy

Hi Andy,

Thanks for prompt reply.

I used the standard Ubuntu repositories, but then went surfing when

things went wrong and found the information at WineHQ to add the
repository you give below. Once this was all done everything worked
properly, as it installs a much newer version of WINE that available
in the standard default repository for Ubuntu 10.04 LTS that
includes winetricks. Interestingly the GUI winetricks does not list
corefonts but if the command line is used then corefonts are
downloaded and installed.

Thanks for the help and advice to the community.

Kind regards,

Huw

What wine (red or white wine :wink: ) to use : wine (version?) or winebottler together with Sailwave on Snow Leopard. Has anyone really got this working???

Maybe some skilled wineexpert could make a small manual… both for Linux and Mac.

Yes Huw, I am looking into that document. Unfortunately something else come in between - It is called work… :wink: I will come back as soon as possible,

Hi

I have Sailwave installed on MacOS Snow Leopard.

The basic steps follow:

1. Install Fink from www.finkproject.org
2. Once Fink is installed......
3. Run in terminal fink install wine
4. fink install winetricks
5. winetricks corefonts
6. Then ln -s ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/Fonts/Arial.TTF ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/Fonts/sserife.fon

Be warned step 3 takes a loooooooooong time.

It does work fine with no issues so far.

David

Hi David,

tried but went lost… Step 1 - 3 seem to worked for me but I am not sure. Deep water here :wink:

I could also not install winetricks…

Any more detailed installation?

Anders,

Suggest you read the fink FAQ, Particularly 5.8.
