Wine OSX font locations??

Post by Dewdman42 »

When installing an app with custom fonts into my wine prefix, I notice that its custom fonts were installed both into C:\windows\Fonts as well as into Mac's /Library/Fonts folder. Why did they get installed into both places?

I had another situation come up when I ran winetricks allfonts and it happily overwrote many of my Mac's fonts with wine/windows versions that were not the same into /Library/Fonts. How can I prevent that from happening?

Seems to me that on OSX wine should read fonts from various places, including /Library/Fonts, but should not overwrite the mac's font area, but rather store under C:\windows\Fonts or perhaps some other place that is dedicated only to wine.

what am I missing?
