How do I make WINE use system fonts?

[qheniw]

WINE version: 1.9.7 32-bit (installed from PlayOnLinux)

My Linux distro (SolydX based on Debian Stable) is in Chinese. In regedit, all Chinese characters appear as vertical bars unless I create a symlink in

Code: Select all

drive_c/windows/Fonts

to

Code: Select all

/usr/share/fonts/truetype/wqy/wqy-zenhei.ttc

Is there a setting somewhere I can change to make WINE use the system fonts?

Probably related to this bug: https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13829. It's marked STAGED, so try wine-staging.

How do I find out which staging version it is? I use PlayOnLinux and the latest staging version there is 1.9.5-staging, but I'm using 1.9.7.

64-bit WINE works fine, this problem only happens to 32-bit.

If a Windows application has both 32-bit and 64-bit binaries, is it better to use 32-bit WINE or 64-bit WINE in general?

First, PlayOnLinux is not supported here. If you insist on using it, ask for help on their forum.

You should have said that in the first place. It sounds like you are missing a 32 bit library, probably 32 bit freetype.

Thanks. I installed libxft2:i386 and it works fine now.
