Description of problem: Wine uses some arabic font in it's programs, also configuration. If I downgrade to the previous version everything is fine. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): wine-0.9.44-1.fc7 How reproducible: start any wine program from the gnome menu Actual results: some arabic (?) text/font in menus and messages Expected results: english text Additional info: If I downgrade to 0.9.36-2.fc7 it works as expected. Problem is known to have happened to others on the fedora-list, Message-Id: <200709281833.33194.colin.co.uk>
Please backup your ~/.wine directory (e.g. move it to ~/.wine-save) and run e.g. winecfg. This will create a new ~/.wine directory. This should solve your problems.
Created attachment 219801 [details] output from command winecfg No this does not help. See attached file.
Outch... that does not look healthy. I wonder where the libGL errors come from? Any problems with 3D graphics? I would also ask you to try 0.9.46 from updates-testing just so that we are on the same version makes it easier for me to verify bugs...
Created attachment 221141 [details] winecfg log of errors I haven't gotten 3D to work, but then I haven't tried very hard either. The updates-testing repo only found a 0.9.45-1.fc7, and I tried this. yum --enablerepo=updates-testing install wine The repofile uses mirrorlist=http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/mirrorlist?repo=updates-testing-source-f$releasever&arch=$basearch I also tried with baseurl=http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/updates/testing/$releasever/$basearch/ I made sure to remove my .wine-dir first then ran winecfg (winecfg >wine.log2 2>&1) again. The same thing happens, see the logfile.
Hm. The attachment did not trigger the status. Hope this will.
Same problem here. Arabic letters everywere, including winecfg app.
Yep same problem here... I'm not sure what it could be... I installed wine to use uTorrent and I can't even read it... and this is for F8
Hello Vang: I don't mean to get out of topic, but have you tried ktorrent. I'm pretty sure it's way better than utorrent+wine. Aside from that, it would be nice if this bug was corrected in wine. Cheers
If I put some more fonts in /usr/share/wine/fonts (found them on windows) then it works. How long till you can update the rpm in extras? I have some hundred machines running fedora 7 and wonder if I should bother packing the files or just wait for your update.
Great: Adding fonts from windows in /usr/share/wine/fonts indeed solves the problem!
Thats interesting to know. Could you please single out the issue a bit more to narrow it down to maybe one font that is missing? While I obviously cannot add windows fonts to the wine package I am quiet stunned by the fact that some fonts are missing for you. If I know which one is missing there might be a way around the issue.
Actually; Including any one True Type Font (*.ttf) made wine use that font (added one, tested, removed, tried another one). I did notice however that marlett.ttf did not help. I tested about 10 ttf before skipping to *.fon. None(!) of the .fon files helped. Summary: I don't know which of the fonts it chooses when I add all, but I am sure it is one of the true type fonts.
I did find by stracing wine that it tries and fails to find these fonts: .wine/dosdevices/c:/windows/fonts/vga850.fon .wine/dosdevices/c:/windows/fonts/vgafix.fon .wine/dosdevices/c:/windows/fonts/serife.fon I found serife.fon (and put it in /usr/share/wine/fonts, but that one did not help. Did not find the other two.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 7 is nearing the end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 7. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '7'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 7's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 7 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. If possible, it is recommended that you try the newest available Fedora distribution to see if your bug still exists. Please read the Release Notes for the newest Fedora distribution to make sure it will meet your needs: http://docs.fedoraproject.org/release-notes/ The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 7 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on June 13, 2008. Fedora 7 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
