give it a try. if it works, then good - else it hasn't cost you anything. i can run MSWord through wine and it would probably be stable enough to do some work with. Success with wine depends greatly on: 1. how many undocumented features your program takes advantage of. generally this is mostly related to how new your program is (and whether it was written by microsoft). 2. whether other people have tried and explicitly implemented the functions that your application requires. so just give it a go and see. you will probably also want to fiddle with using windows or builtin common dlls (see DllOverrides in wine conf) > > > b) have Windose fonts available to it? > > > > It's a fairly trivial matter making Windows truetype fonts available to > > Linux in general, and by extension, wine. > > Thought so... what about non-truetype? what other formats are there? if the app rasterises them directly, then it should continue to do so - otherwise, it'll display any font that your xserver can draw. -- - Gus -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
