What windows fonts does wine need?

[arkaine23]

I'm remastering a Knoppix CD, however wine seems to be broken. It has an auto-config tk app, but that fails everytime and I get errors about font metrics. Someone suggested I put windows fonts into my ~/.wine/fake-windows/fonts driectory. I'm low on space on the CD so I can't just stick all the windows fonts in there. I figured maybe I could do all the tft fonts and skip the true type ones....

I have to do this in a script anyway since there is no wine config unitl it is run for the first time (because this is a live CD) and it gets generated in ramdisk....

What fonts does wine like? I was hoping to get away with maybe just lucinda console....

this is not easy for me to do cuz my remastering box has no windopws installed and I'm not on a network where I can grab the fonts through samba. I have to copy them over to a CDR. I'm hoping to get this done quick and not burn a bunch of CDR's testing out a few fonts at a time- am almost out of CDR's... :(

Is That why my WINE didn't run? I didn't have the windows fonts installed in the proper place?? ...Well yeah it said "font metrics" but I didn't realize it wanted...well...fonts.

What is the appropriate directory for those guys on there anyway?

The default dir where the wine configs get generated in knoppix 3.2 is /home/knoppix/.wine

Fonts are two levels down in /home/knoppix/.wine/fake-windows/fonts

Its all in ramdisk and created by that winesetuptk app that runs the first time you use wine in knoppix when booted from the CD. But that app does something wrong in the version I've got. there's a new release of knoppix 3.2 dated 7-26-03, but I don;t know if the issue has been fixed.

For that matter I'm not sure that the problem will be corrected by copying windows fonts into there, but someone on knoppix.net's forums said that fixed the error for him. Must have been a buggy release of wine when that version of knoppix was made....

The "font metrics" messages are getting printed because something with fonts has changed since the last time Wine was run (or, Wine has never been run at all).

They should not be a problem -- I get the same messages every time I move over to a new partition (and recompile WineX CVS).

Yeah, this is occuring the first time wine is run. There is also a complaint about no nt.dll found. Wine exits with an error status of 1. Subsequent restarts of wine, even though its config has been generated produce the same error. I will boot a knoppix CD as soon as I can get to one and post the entire debug/error log.

The app I'm trying to run is a windows console version of folding@home. I've never had trouble doing this on any other linux system.
