Hello all,

Iam using OpenSuse 11.0 and Wine 1.1.10. Iam using Wine only for my windows invoice program. This program was working in Windows XP well. In wine also the program is working but.....

I using a Dutch linux but aim living and working in the Czech republic. In my invoice program {windows software under Wine} are the Czech characters a mess. The same program under Windows XP Dutch did not have this problem.

I have already searched in the Wine forums and so on but i did nit find the right answer. Can anyone help me with this problem, iam very happy with Linux but i have to use this invoice program for a wile....

Thanks....

What is your locale set to? Have you tried setting it to Czech when
running that program?

A) Don't run wine as root. Reinstall as a regular user and use it that way.

B) Locale is an environmental variable, so you'd use:

env LANG=cz_CZ.UTF-8 WINEPREFIX="/username/.wine" wine "C:\Programma
Bestanden\miniFaktura\miniFaktura.exe"

In case you didn't understand - DO NOT run ANYTHING as root on Linux! And running Wine as root is the worst you can do.
