Notepad Font Selection Screen

Any application that requests System font will get nothing but little squares.
wine installed with fontforge and truetype support. First noticed with wine
0.9.10 and now .11 too.

notepad sentence in System font

there are no fonts installed in the windows/fonts directory

Sounds like you were missing FontForge when Wine was compiled.  Please install
FontForge and recompile the latest CVS/GIT version of Wine.

Why are you hijacking my bugreport???? 

We both have System font troubles, Marcus. 

Peter: This bug report is not about what you are seeing, it is about wine making
a bad choice when there is are fonts in the windows/fonts directory.

It may be related too. Both instances show a system font that does not work. I
considered opening a new bug, but felt that since both involved System, it made
sense to append. The fact that System was not getting chosen is important.

See bug #4995 for additional information. I captured some compile-time output
which may be the source of my problems, at least.

Really, WINE can use first in alphabetical order font from fonts dir instead 
ttf MS Shell Dlg 

Works fine for me in current wine. Tried installing the barcode font, and it was not chosen as default, even though it is alphabetically first. Resolving fixed.

Closing all RESOLVED FIXED bugs older than 0.9.54.
