Trying translations with make, encoding worng

Post by kataja »

I translated a little the fi.po file and then I run make.
I have installed before the apt-get Wine and that's why I didn't make install.

My compiled Wine works fine, also my translations, but special characters ar not showing (å,ä,ö). Instead, it shows very weird marks. Also the font itself is strange. I though set the font to Tahoma.

I found out that my make -Wine scans for Wine files and finds my installed Wine. But in the register, font paths are wrong/gone.
When I run my installed Wine, it undos the changes and its fonts show fine.

Mixing installed and compiled from source Wine is not recommended. Yes it does work, but you might have some issues if things are not done correctly. You will be better off removing installed binary Wine package. It won't affect anything.

To properly compile Wine you need lots of dependencies. See output of ./configure for any indications that you missing something. Also check this page: http://wiki.winehq.org/Recommended_Packages
