Re: Language
That's your problem. Wine doesn't know what to do with that. You should use "en_US.UTF-8" instead.miykle wrote: LANG=en_AU.UTF-8
Re: Language
BTW when you hit reply MAKE SURE you filled in the subject!
Also if what I posted above is over your head - ask your distro channel how to do what I asked. Here we help with Wine, not with whole OS.

Second, use Google to find the winetricks script. Save it as a shell
script and set it up to execute. If you do not know how to do this,
please find a local Linux/UNIX guru, this is outside the scope of this list.
Third, run winetricks corefonts.
This will download and install the Microsoft (R) Arial and Times New
Roman fonts. Without these fonts you will see garbage on the screen for
most programs as they require these fonts to properly display
information. The winetricks script has more functions, but this should
be all you need for now.

Miykle, does the command

And please try a program that had been misbehaving
for you, but run it with LANG set to an American locale,
like this:
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
wine command-that-misbehaves.exe
and see if it behaves any better.
If in fact Wine doesn't know what to do with en_AU.UTF-8,That's your problem. Wine doesn't know what to do with that.LANG=en_AU.UTF-8
You should use "en_US.UTF-8" instead.

Re: Question #1 How to change system fonts in WINE (screenshot for clarification)
Solved my own issue and here's the answer for any future forum searched
To change the system fonts in wine download tahoma32.exe from here
http://download.microsoft.com/downlo...s/tahoma32.exe
Open up terminal and type
Code:
wine tahoma32.exe
And no more ugly font, you get the windows tahoma font for all your WINE needs
////////////////////////////
Thankyou David The H.
Thank you once again, being new to Ubuntu and wine Help is so much appreciated.
Many Blessings Miykle
PS. Had another look at "locale" and the output is still the same en_AU . UTF - 8", but all the languages are correct, even in note pad ???. <M>
