Re: [ILAT] shoebox/toolbox fonts





I have used Toolbox with Wine in Ubuntu, but not with version 8.04.

1) Did you install the fonts in the Wine font folder? Toolbox and other 
Wine programs can't use the fonts installed in the regular Ubuntu font 
folder.
Normally the Wine font folder is %home/.wine/fonts folder, or 
%home/.wine/drive_c/windows/fonts


2) Did you specify in the language encoding properties that the language 
is Unicode? This is on the "Options" tab of the Language encoding 
properties.


Shoebox will not work with Unicode fonts. It was written before Unicode 
became widespread. You can install Toolbox in  XP, which should handle 
Unicode fonts
