Potlatch3 under Wine on Ubuntu 18.04 - missing fonts.

SomeoneElseOSM opened this issue 4 years ago · 1 comments

There are a couple of examples of font issues on the screenshot below. I can "export WINEDEBUG=+font" to get some font debug, but I get 250k lines of it(!) so it'd be useful to know what fonts are supposed to be displayed in those dialogue boxes in order to pin down what is going wrong.

(that's the GPS trace dialogue on the left, of course)

This is probably a Wine issue rather than a P3 issue as such, of course, but it should be work-roundable.

The resolution for these seems to be to use "winetricks" as per https://wiki.winehq.org/Winetricks , also installing "cabextract" via "apt install", and then running "winetricks corefonts". The font (which looks like "System" at a guess) then appears.
