I then installed it from the command line, seems to be OK so we will see how we go.Īfter all that, the "invisible font" problem persists so in that respect nothing has changed.

Tried to install this through the box that came up, but the problem persisted.
However when I tried to install wine 1.7x, this time it automatically uninstalled version 1.6 and installed fine.Īlthough there were problems with wine-mono, it showed that this was installed during the installation of wine 1.7 but programs complained that it was not installed. Tried a wine program, this worked fine, so wine had obviously not been removed. Had a look under "alacarte" but this just remained blank, so could do nothing there. Sudo apt-get remove -purge wine (this came up with an error about the -p option) Rm -f $home/.local/share/desktop-directories/wine* Rm -rf $home/.local/share/applications/wine Rm -f $home/.config/menus/applications-merged/wine* No dice, complains there are broken packages. Sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubunti/wine/ppa Īre we allowed to know what the mysterious old/broken distribution you are trying to "defibrillate" is?

See WineHQ Wine FAQ: 10.1.1 How can I get a debugging log (a.k.a. Pure speculation of course because you haven't posted any console output. If your trying to use an older Wine version it might be from back when the dwrite.dll library was still partially stubbed (ie just a set of placeholder calls). I have checked the Wine Registry and the font is definitely listed there.

I have tried all kind of things, one of which was trying to update Wine to 1.7 (complains about broken apps so no luck there) I have this same program installed on a different distro, Salix, and it has no such problems.
