   Hey, cool! Sure hope this works with Ijji’s Reactor thangy thang. I don’t know ANYTHING about these things, so I’m learning as I go along. Hopefully I don’t screw anything up. But yeah, great work! Really hoping this clears my problems!

   Working very well here too Just on question, how would it be possible for Wine to display Chines characters properly? I have a mahjong program and both his name in the wine file manager and his chineses contents while launched appear completely scrambled…

   Thanks!

   Mike,

   First of all, thanks for bringing this awesome package to everyone!

   On 1.2-rc7 and the 1.2 final the Msi.icns icon is missing from the Resources folder. All the .exe, .lnk files get a blank sheet icon instead.

   I just dropped and old icon into the resources folder and got my icons back.

   Wouldn’t it be easier for you to make a forum to allow people to give you a feedback ?
   I found a couple of day ago the open-source vanilla forum system which is really easy to install, and free…(http://vanillaforums.org/)
   I think it would be really useful !…
   Have a nice day !

   Hi Capitain Haddock
   Good Idea, but I have very little time to moderate such a forum and they are very prone for abuse if not moderated properly (I had several forums ). If I get some people that are willing to help me out, I will change my mind rather fast, as it can be a very good source for help.

   Dear Mike, I am facing again the same problem as RC7; the fonts from /windows/fonts are not anti-aliased (despite applying the winetrick) but the X11 fonts that are linked, are!

   Please, can you assist us in (a) removing all X11 fonts links forever (as they don’t support non-Latin) because everytime I delete them (registry etc.) they re-appear automatically… and (b) how to make like real Windows, the Wine system detect and add the physical ttf fonts I put in /windows/fonts into the registry? Do I need to do this manually?

   I’d like to have in my prefix my own fonts, not those related to my /User/ or /X11/ from the system. Is there a way to stop this automatic process?

   I think that some fonts that I have in my system (in the format of e.g. Arial Narrow.dfont must not be recognised by Wine) that’s why I’d like to have few but needed fonts in /windows/fonts…

   Many thanks in advance for your help!

    Mike, I re-installed Wine 1.2 on a clean system, with Apple’s X11 (2.3.5) and the font smoothing problem is gone. Please check the latest X11.org’s XQuartz version 2.5.2 that apparently screws up font smoothing!!! GUYS DO NOT INSTALL XQUARTZ 2.5.2!!!

    Mike please tell me, is there a way to avoid reading system fonts but ONLY conenctrate on /drive_c/windows/Fonts folder? Is this possible? I’d like to use only a specific font set….

    Thanks.

    Hello !

    Thanks for winebottler, it’s a life saver.

    I have a problem with one particular program.
    For the background, it’s a (quite simple) database browser made by a french company. It’s installation resources are separated into language directories such as

    c:\program files\my app\allemand
    c:\program files\my app\anglais
    c:\program files\my app\français
    c:\program files\my app\néerlandais

    Those languages being respectively German, English, French and Dutch.

    The bottled app works fine in english and german. However it crashes in french and dutch.
    Upon browsing the created .app, I noticed that the particular folders for french and dutch (“français” and “néerlandais”) were missing. Instead, there were these two folders:
    c:\program files\my app\–
    c:\program files\my app\–

    containing lots of “–” files.

    My guess is that there’s a unicode problem somewhere or something like that? That the wine installer does not support “special” characters such as é and ç. Is that a known bug and can you fix it ?

    Thanks for your support.

    Hey Mike,

    I just discovered WineBottler last night, and I must say it make a great — and free! — alternative to Crossover.

    I was trying to install some art software that requires tablet pressure support. Crossover uses an internal old build of X11, with the buggy (ie non-working) tablet support. Since Wine uses the external X11 (which I’ve updated to 2.5-something, fixing the bug), I tried installing it with WineBottler. The problem is, it needs to be run as administrator the first time, and I can’t find a way to do that. Is there some feature of WineBottler I’m missing, or is this an isolated problem (since I’ve heard Wine runs EXE’s as admin by default)?

    Thanks!

    @Thijmen, Chris, Jim
    Flash is a lot out of sync. It will be removed by default in the next version.

    Hi Freaks,

    what version of OS X and Wine are you running? looks like some of the OpenGL libs are not found.

    Hi, Mike.

    I made a WineBottler installer for a piece of software I test every so often. Had to uninstall the software, but when I try to run the WineBottler installer I made, it just opens up the Wine File application (?!). Any ideas on how to make it do what it’s supposed to do? \

    By the way, it was put together under Tiger, and the installation fails under both Tiger and Snow Leopard (yes, I got a new laptop!!).

    Thanks ….

    Dear Mike, I think I have tracked the anti-aliasing display problem I wrote about…

    I run 10.6.4 with the latest X11 (2.5.3 from xorg). It has to do with either X11 (Apple’s or not) or Wine. They don’t support Greek locale, as read in System Preferences > Language And Text > Formats.

    I realised that when changing it to a non-Greek setting (e.g. Belgium or United Kingdom) the anti-aliasing in fonts WORKS in all win32 programs. When setting it to Greek, no font is displayed with anti-aliasing, which is tiresome when working for a long time.

    Can you help by checking your side of the code if it could be due to Wine? I don’t recall having this problem prior to RC7…

    Many thanks.
