[K12OSN] K12LTSP 5EL and Wine

[Rob Owens]

If you installed the fontforge package after creating the user's .wine
folder, perhaps wine isn't able to pick up the addition of new fonts.  Try:

rm -rf ~/.wine
winecfg

and see if that works now that fontforge is installed.

It then seems to go out and find the system fonts from CentOS, but not all of them. I'm wondering if copying all the TFF files into the .wine fonts folder would fix it? I'll try it when I get home, that's where I've been messing with it for now. I don't want to mess with my server too much before school. Is there a way I can remove and then reinstall wine but showing what may have went wrong? Debug it is what I mean. So I can get a better idea of what might be causing this, I don't think recompiling it made a difference, and neither did installing all the other font packages. Thanks.
