Invisible fonts

Post by metalinmyveins »

I just did a clean install of the latest wine stable release in ubuntu lunar lobster. After that, I launched Half Life 2 and the fonts are not visible (like `New game`, `Load game`, `Options` etc). Tried another game called Portal, same problem with that. Then tried another game called Shank 2. Now this game performs in 3 FPS speed lol. It used to work super well in ubuntu 20.04. So I would assume that this wine release has got a ton of issues.

Many programs use the standard Windows fonts.
You can install them with:

Code: Select all

sudo apt install ttf-mscorefonts-installer
# or
winetricks corefonts

This sounds like a missing display driver. Did you install the libgl1:i386 package?
