Louis, your script did winetricks allfonts wineprefixcreate #to register the fonts which I didn't quite understand. Why do fonts installed by perfectly valid corefonts installers from Microsoft need to be registered? Do we have a bug somewhere? I ask because http://winehq.org/pipermail/wine-users/2008-March/030284.html mentions that it helped him. I'm still not quite convinced, hoping you can enlighten me. - Dan

Just to remove any confusion: I'm _not_ planning to participate in the
GSoC. My student time are long gone Means implementing fusion.dll
is free for everybody.

It doesn't seem that hard to implementi the fusion dll. The hard part
is that you will probably have to dipe really deep into assemblies for
it if you want to implement it properly. I don't know the specific
code paths taken, but msdn seems to have at least some info on it.
I think that the fusion dll is installed when installing the .net
framework because my windows xp install doesn't have it in system32.
It is in C:\windows\microsoft.net\framework\${VERSION}, which means
it's probably installed as part of the .net framework. Calling it from
MSI doesn't seem to be too hard.
Cheers,
Maarten.

improve winetricks dotnet 1.1
Hi, i wonder if it would be possible to improve winetricks dotnet 1.1, so that
it's actually able to run
.net-1.1 applications. Currently it only installs the framework, but due to
bugs the apps don't run. Atm moment i use pretty worthless script below to get
them running, but i'm sure one of the winetricks hackers could turn this into a
nice script
Note, the dlls gdiplus and mscoree should be set to native only, not (native,
builtin), so override_dll should look tiny bit different then in winetricks.
