Wine font [solved]

[ffi]

How do I change the default font in Wine, so it won´t use that ugly italic font? I can change them from within applications but I want to change the overall default it´s to hard to read.

 

The manual says this:

 

3.3.3. Fonts

 

Font configuration, once a nasty problem, is now much simpler. If you have a collection of TrueType fonts in Windows it's simply a matter of copying the .ttf files into c:\windows\fonts.

 

But still nothing about how to do it :s

In your fake-windows folder, thre is a windows folder, create a fonts folder an copy the fonts there. Then in the application change the fonts.

Or simply install a fontmanager in your wine drive (Typograf and X-fonter are known to work fine with wine 0.9.X).

I actually meant the default font used by wine itself, take the notepad application that comes with wine it´s virtually unusable because of the font type wine itself uses by default, you can change it for eg. the font used in the files in the file manager but not the menu in the file manager.

You have to copy the TTF fonts from windows into the ttf directory in Linux here:

 

/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TTF

 

and then it'll sort the fonts out. I had this problem, all solved.

This can be done by the font manager in MCC?

 

edit:Oh yes much better :)
