"Wine cannot find the FreeType font library."

[Babkockdood]

Whenever I try running a Windows executable thru the terminal, Wine gives me the following.

Code: Select all

Wine cannot find the FreeType font library.  To enable Wine to
use TrueType fonts please install a version of FreeType greater than
or equal to 2.0.5.

I've tried devnulling the output but the message keeps appearing. The executable I need to use works like it's supposed to, but Wine opens X11 and gives me this message. Can someone please provide a link to this "FreeType" library?[/code]

Your distro should have a package for it.

Install the 32 bit Fontconfig library.

One question though, are you using Linux or MacOSX?
