.ttf Fonts in ~/.fonts Don't Show Up

[sudleyplace]

Using Ubuntu 12.04 (64-bit) and Wine 1.4 (64-bit), I have copied six .ttf fonts to ~/.fonts as well as to ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/Fonts (a.k.a. C:\windows\Fonts), and set their permissions to 0777. However, when I run Notepad and select "Edit | Font..." only one of those fonts shows up.

I ran Wine Explorer, navigated to C:\Windows\Fonts and double-clicked on one of the fonts (hoping to be able to install it), but was told that "There is no Windows program configured to open this type of file". If I right-click on a .ttf font, there is no "Install" option and Clicking on "Properties" does nothing.

What do I need to do to get all of my fonts to appear?

Wine 1.4 is no longer supported. Please upgrade to at least 1.6 this might solve problem.

WINEDEBUG=+fonts wine notepad also might give you more of an idea of what is going wrong.

0777 is never required on a font. Highest is 644 that a font should be assigned.

Also installing many copies of the same font at once can also cause issues. So a copy of the fonts should only be one of the two places you placed them.

Please also check the fonts with a Linux native font viewer. They could be broken.

Thanks for your help. I upgraded the OS to 12.10 and Wine to 1.6 and all is well.

BTW, the page http://www.winehq.org/download/ubuntu still lists 1.5 as beta and 1.4 as stable.

Thanks again!
