strange fonts in flight simulator 98 and wine 1.0

[ilikewine]

I installed flight simulator 98 using wine 1.0 and have fonts that look like chess pieces and zeros. The pull down menus are ok, but the dialog boxes are unreadable. I have the *.ttf files installed in wine. Do I need to install directx from the flight simulator cd into wine? Do I need a specific font file or do I need set the path to the font file?

code:

wget http://www.kegel.com/wine/winetricks
winetricks corefonts

This will install the corefonts used by MS into the proper place. You
will have to accept the Microsoft licenses.

Thanks, that worked. Now I have to figure out how to keep the game from crashing when I try to take off.
