Wine & .PFM/.PFB fonts

Post by Vii »

Does anybody know, is there any way to use post-script fonts (.pfm for windows or .pfb for *nix) in windows application running throw the Wine (eg. Adobe Photoshop or Macromedia Flash)?

I copy fonts to the wine's Windows/Fonts folder but no app see them :((

The only thing I could find on this says to convert them to TrueType using FontForge.

+1 for this suggestion. Wine will only recognize True Type fonts for now.
