Description of problem: I had a very large number of fonts locally installed (in .fonts) ... up to 2500 files (mostly .otf files) Wine fails to start with err:module:attach_process_dlls "gdi32.dll" failed to initialize, aborting Reducing the number of fonts available (now there are 496 files) fixed the issue Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Name : wine Version : 1.7.1 Release : 2.fc19 Architecture: x86_64 How reproducible: The problem was systematic; every time wine failed to start after having fully filled all available memory. Not even console applications (like cmd.exe) seemed to work Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install many fonts locally 2. Try to run wine 3. Actual results: After filling out most of the available memory wine prints some time out warnings and then fails to start with error err:module:attach_process_dlls "gdi32.dll" failed to initialize, aborting Expected results: The expected program starts. Additional info: I have not had this problem with previous versions of wine (the same fonts were installed); perhaps it is an upstream issue. In any case, reducing the number of fonts seemed to be able to solve the problem.
