fonts are broken after reboot

Post by netlord »

hi forum

i use wine on debian stable (version 1.4.1)
after a hard reboot due to other reasons the font used in wine seems to be broken.
when i use (for example totalcommander) it looks so

i've uninstalled an reinstalled wine, but the error remains....

however - now i've seen that this seems to be user specific - as root i could install tc without problems....

what can i do now?

thx netlord

Never run Wine as root. http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#run_as_root

Delete the wineprefix and start over.

it was only in case of emergency because i have no other users on this system
i already removed /root/.wine

but thanks for the hint. ;)

There's nothing abnormal in the console output. Have you tried reinstalling the font? Perhaps the file was corrupted during the "hard reboot."

which font should i reinstall?
i reinstalled the package ttf-mscorefonts (with apt-get install --reinstall) - but this is obviously not enough..
