I use wine-20050725 from ports. You know, I also have problems with fonts in CS. Sometimes they all work flawlessly, sometimes squares are displayed instead of some of them - but it has nothing to do with wine fonts or X fonts, because all fonts in CS are bitmap files located somewhere in the valve folder.
I think the only thing in the config that matters in this case is this: [x11drv] "ScreenDepth" = "16" "Managed" = "N" "Desktop" = "1024x768" "UseDGA" = "Y" "UseXVidMode" = "Y" "UseTakeFocus" = "Y" "DXGrab" = "N" "DesktopDoubleBuffered" = "Y" But in fact I'm not sure all fonts are displayed fine with this. CS launches with virtually any settings here - that's what I'm sure of. I know about http://cedega.firepipe.net/ (and btw, Cedega is free without its copy-protection extensions), but it seems that wine is still much easier to set up on BSD than Cedega. I have never paid for a piece of software in my life (except for donations to some open-source projects), but I'm ready to give the guys $15 if they cure me of dependancy from windows. [I was also going to buy OSS sound drivers as they stated support for SoundMax, but I downloaded a trial - and SoundMax wasn't in the list of FreeBSD drivers, what a pity]. Yep, there are many great games that run smoothly on FreeBSD without any tribal dances. I've been enjoying Nexuiz for the last few days. But I really want to get CS1.5 going - it's not just a game for me, it's a place where I can regularly meet my friends :-) Andrew P.
