Hi all! This is my first post to the mailing list so I hope it excuses my lack of knowledge of this mailing list's protocols... It also mentioned "Avoid top postings" but the link is dead from China where I currently reside. I will the assume (and hope) that this is a proper Top posting. As this is my first posting, I'll begin with a corny introduction; I was using CRUX back in Canada and liked it very much, now I have been in China for 1 year and just took Windows out of this box that the school gave me and put in Crux 2.1. I am quite happy with how well the packages are maintained and I like CRUX even more. I use it strictly for Desktop use here. Ok so here's my question, hopefully it doesnt have a very simple answer because i've been searching for a at least 4 hours on the Net on how to do this with no success: I compiled Wine last night using the /contrib/wine package in order to use Miranda-im for windows, which supports QQ, a Messenger used in China. There are currently no Linux alternatives that I know of for QQ because of recent changes on the QQ servers that deny the 2003 protocol... anyways. The problem (at least one of the problem) is that the Chinese fonts do not show up under Wine, I downloaded and copied the proper ttf's under .wineroot./windows/fonts then tried that chinese software, and notepad.exe, no luck, Chinese fonts fo not show up under Wine. They do show up under X though. Im not too sure what the --disable-nls option does in Pkginfo files, would that be related? Anybody knows how to use Chinese fonts under Wine? Does Wine need to "register" the fonts in a special way? Does it have to be compiled in a special way for asian characters? Anyways thanks for your help and hopefully I won't turn this mailing list into a newbie forum... -Ben :-) __________________________________________________________ Lèche-vitrine ou lèche-écran ? magasinage.yahoo.ca
