Using Sailwave 2.02b4 with Ubuntu 10.04 under Wine

Hi,

I've hit a prob with later versions of Sailwave running under Ubuntu/Wine on a netbook.

I've a neat netbook and under a previous version of Ubuntu and Wine all worked OK. With current versions, there are some characters (file name, race placing when entering in the dialogue box {they show fine once they're in the table}, for instance) that just show as vertical bars. The data seems fine, but it becomes sheer guess work! Should I just forget trying to do this or is there a tweak? Sorry I cannot be specific about what versions DID work OK - something like Ubuntu 9 with Sailwave version 2.01 or so.

Hi Dave, this rings a bell from a few years ago, i think the solution
was where you had fonts installed. Are there fonts in C:/windows/fonts
? Mine were in /usr/share/wine/fonts so i copied them over

That sounds like a solution worth trying - here's an aditional one - can I get it to publish direct to calc on Open Office - I know I can publish to an xml file which calc will open, but can I do something simialr to the "pubish to installed application excel" as OO does not use .exe the browser doesn't seem to see OO as an Application. (Maybe I'm not looking in the right directory.....!)

There was a similar query recently.

You can publish to `An Installed Application’, then browse for the directory where OO / Calc resides.

Seem to recall it in Usr / bin
