Greek simbols in dialogs.

The problem is ... strange. When I'm using programs such as "Tottal commander", "Free commander", installing "hidden and dangerous deluxe" (free), letters in dialogs becomes Greek instead of Latin (you know those strange symbols from math formulas). So I don't understand what is written. How can I solve this?

The most likely cause is that some app you installed put a symbol font in ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/Fonts, and everything is now using it as the default font. If you don't need the font you can delete it; otherwise, install winetricks corefonts to provide more sensible font choices to your apps.

OK, now It's not Greek any more, and more readable, but still font that is used isn't as readable as in windows. Can something be done about this?

Does this happen in all software? If so, you can open winecfg and change the default font under the Desktop Integration tab.

If that didn't work, try it with a clean wineprefix.
