GREEK FONTS IN WINE

Post by kprncs »

GREEK FONTS

I have installed WINE from the XUBUNTU 12.04 S.M. My programs in Greek show "wild "characters.

I have downloaded and installed the Microsoft Tahoma32.exe suggested solution, but nothing happens.

Can someone help, please?

What is your system locale? If it's not Greek, are you starting Wine with the correct LANG variable?

I have installed US ENGLISH as native language. WINE starts under this environment.

What exactly is the "correct LANG variable"?
Sorry, I have recently left Windows for Ubuntu...

For Greek, it's el_GR.UTF-8. Use it at the beginning of the command line, before the Wine command. http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#run_from_terminal

The syntax is

Code: Select all

LANG=el_GR.UTF-8 wine /path/to/program.exe
substitute the actual path the executable for "/path/to/program.exe" in the line above. You can use either a Windows-style or unix-style path; follow the wiki instructions for whichever you choose.
