Cannot install Arial font on wine-8.19

Post by 2qCC2E53 »

Hello,

I am using wine-8.19 for a win32 prefix. I cannot install some corefonts such as arial and times using winetricks. The cmd command said the cabextract returns 1. Probably, the download links for these fonts are invalid as the checksums are incorrect. I hope that I described clearly the situation and someone can help me out.

Thank you,

Although winetricks is often used here, winetricks is a separate project
and bugs in the program can be reported on their Github page.

get the font from any font site that's googled

simply copy then to $WINEPREFIX/drive_c/windows/Fonts

or

simply copy it from Windows OS on its own partition C:\Windows\Fonts
