Fonts in WINE

[quasi coral]

Arial is part of msccorefonts. install that

[atomic herald]

get the fonts with apt or use my repo:
https://github.com/lunelovehearn/Core-Fonts

[white sky]

i have the font. it's in the fonts directory for windows in my wine folder. i just need to actually have it load

[haughty marlin]

Good to see you finally with something that works

[white sky]

not really 😭

[haughty marlin]

Yesterday i took the day off to recover .. from this

[haughty marlin]

i wonder how did you get it running

Wine looks for fonts in /usr/share/fonts, /usr/share/wine/fonts, and ~/.fonts

Put the fonts in there

Also you can use winetricks to install fonts, Winetricks is a script that simplifies the process of installing various packages needed to run Windows apps

Also change font settings in winecfg

[white sky]

how do i install fonts to there?

oh winetricks

[haughty marlin]

Extract the fonts and move them in a folder there

ex. If the font was named "Copper"

then put the fonts files in /usr/share/fonts/Copper or /usr/share/wine/fonts/Cooper or /home/.fonts/Cooper

[white sky]

ok im installing winetricks and uhhh it just opened some shit in german 😭

[haughty marlin]

i suggest you get the latest release

Just Click This

Extract the archive and cd into the extracted folder

or right click in the extracted folder and click open in terminal

then type sudo make install

[white sky]

that just opens in a text editor

[haughty marlin]

https://github.com/Winetricks/winetricks/releases/download/20240105/20240105.tar.gz.asc

click the agc file

extract it

go into extracted folder

open terminal there by right click and choosing "Open in terminal"

and type sudo make install

[white sky]

thats the exact same file.

there's no option to extract

[haughty marlin]

ok download the sourse code instead

[haughty marlin]

https://github.com/Winetricks/winetricks/releases

click source code

it will work

[atomic herald]

actually you install that on your mint system, not wine

[white sky]

where??

also in winecfg i don't see a font option

[haughty marlin]

in the folders i told you to install in

[atomic herald]

idk how to on mint, as I don't use it and neither use cinnamon

plasma offers a GUI solution to install fonts

you only click add fonts then look for the files or download more fonts

that is, under plasma. cinnamon works different

[haughty marlin]

you need root perms for that

[atomic herald]

wrong folder

also read the mint forums link

it tells how to use a GUI tool

[haughty marlin]

anyone of these are used to install fonts /usr/share/fonts (Requires Root), /usr/share/wine/fonts (Requires Root), and ~/.fonts

[white sky]

thx @atomic herald installed them now, just need to figure out how to get them to work in wine

[haughty marlin]

so if you can't/don't want to use root, just put them in /home/.fonts

[haughty marlin]

winetricks

winetricks gives you a GUI to select the font you want from the spported ones

[atomic herald]

it should show automatically

bro, I have MS office running under wine and it uses the fonts I have installed systemwide, not inside wine

[white sky]

i mean that i can't manually choose which font to load in wine, and the program loads with the wrong font

[atomic herald]

winetricks

perhaps bottles can help

[white sky]

NOT AGAIN. 😭

[haughty marlin]

just install winetricks already

[white sky]

alright, i FINALLY installed winetricks... but i don't kno how to install any fonts

[haughty marlin]

launch it from the start menu

[white sky]

figured it out but

game loads with the same font

[haughty marlin]

soooooo working?

[coral root]

winetricks allfonts

[haughty marlin]

yeah it even has a GUI for it

[coral root]

no, its different

it's an executed function in terminal and a huge download and install
