EU on Linux (WINE)

[xpoptartx]

I know this has been brought up multiple times, but I've actually got it working. The only thing I can't seem to figure out is why most of the font isn't showing up.

My Rig:
AMD X2 4200+
1GB DDR2 PC800
300GB SATAII Hard Drive
Nvidia 7900gs PCI-X

Ubuntu 6.06 LTS
Nvidia Driver 1.0-9746
WINE 0.9.33
EU (Latest VU)

Heres some screenshots:

If any of you can help me figure out how to fix the font I will be forever grateful.

Yay!!! Now I can play too!

Perhaps maybe you need to have installed msttruecorefonts package?

It should be in the Ubuntu Repositories. Try Synaptic, as I may have forgotten the spelling on it. :P Reply with your outcome...

[Moonbiter]

Woot, that's great news!

And yeah, as Che' said, try instaling ms font package. Or, if you have windows installed on the same machine, you can just copy the fonts from there. There's even a tool for that in the KDE control panel, don't know for sure how to do that under gnome though.

Thanks for the quick reply.
I actually already have msttcorefonts installed. I also copied the entire font directory from...
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/msttcorefonts/
into...
/home/xpoptartx/.wine/drive_c/windows/fonts
and it still doesnt work.

Do you guys have any other suggestions?

Try and put the font files in every directory.

If it works them you just have to delete a few thousands of them

Sometimes brute force approach has some merits

Im not sure about your font pronlem - but all the people I know running PE under linux use Cedega and Point2play to get it to run under linux - they have never had any font problems or anything - it has always run perfectly for them - even on the latest VU...I know this wont help your font problems - but I thought you might like to know there is more than one way to get PE running under linux.....

i have tried it both under wine with some kind of dirextx 8 clone, did not work ..allso tried it using cedega and it was the same thing. I have basicaly tried everything and have come to the conclution that it wont work. MA do you mind making EU OpenGL instead?

[BrencelJ]
