Solution: Weird Font in random VST plugins in Carla or Vestige while using Linux.

Post by Kurenai6942 »

Hello,
I found a quick solution to the weird fonts emerging in Windows VST plug-ins when using wine.

Cause:
You installed the free or paid Ample Sound VST plugins in on Linux using Wine.

Solution:
1) Close Carla, Vestige and your DAW.
2) In Linux file explorer, Navigate to: ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/fonts/
3) Remove the "AmpleSoundTab.ttf" font from the folder by mv-ing the file somewhere else or deleting it outright.
4) Launch your DAW, Carla-Rack or Vestige and reload your VST plugin. The Font should default to the wine system font in your VST plugin.

I hope this is helpful. I love using Win-VSTs in Native Reaper on Arch Linux!

Note: Removing this "AmpleSoundTab.ttf" will remove the rhythm notation in the AmpleSound LP Guitar VST from the Ample "Riffer" tab in the plug-in but you should be doing guitar riff notes in your DAW anyway.
