Well, no they don't. They are requesting the font Microsoft calls Tahoma, not a Wine-provided imitation of Tahoma. Providing a font called Tahoma that isn't Tahoma is a bad idea. In general, the fonts that are designed to copy other fonts get a different name. In many cases, this is required because some font names are trademarked (IIRC Helvetica is an example). Wine should not call their font Tahoma. They should call it something else and then map requests for Tahoma to their imitation font. -- Chris Adams <cmad...@hiwaay.net> Systems and Network Administrator - HiWAAY Internet Services I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble. -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
