card icons lost when upgrading to wine 9.0

Post by sponsor61 »

When I run the current version of the contract bridge program qplus bridge (version 15.7) on ubuntu 22.04 LTS, with wine 7.7 (Staging), or with wine 6.0 and windows XP selected in winecfg, or in MS windows 10, the card icons are displayed correctly:

Running qplus bridge with wine 9.0 on ubuntu 24.04 LTS, the card icons are missing:

How can I fix this so the card icons display correctly with wine 9/ubuntu 24.04 LTS?

Thanks!

The Arial font is probably used to draw these symbols.
You can install this font with:

Code: Select all

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

Thanks for your reply; I tried both those commands, but still don't see the symbols. Is there anything else I could try? A different font, perhaps?

The symbols appear when I use winehq-staging. Why would the symbols appear only in the staging release of wine?
Thanks!
