My md5 is different, and I can type characters and they are visible.

Thanks Huw,

:-) , /usr/local/share/wine/fonts/ is a symbolic link to ......
/home/guest/.wine/drive_c/windows/fonts/ ... lol
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 39 2006-04-03 00:19 fonts ->
/home/guest/.wine/drive_c/windows/fonts

Now I understand why there is nothing in /usr/local/share/wine/fonts/
... doing a 'make install' re populates /usr/local/share/wine/fonts/
which means because it's symbolically linked, the fonts all show up in
/home/guest/.wine/drive_c/windows/fonts/.

So, notepad now shows the courier, small font, sans serief and system
fonts (all .fon files) in the list of fonts in notepad. All well and
good, however I still have the problem that if you select any of these
non true type fonts, ie courier, small font, sans serief and system
fonts you just get blank characters.

Now I need to figure out if the problem lies with fontforge or elsewhere
? ( I have a feeling it's elsewhere).

I would appreciate it if somebody could confirm that they can type
characters into notepad using the courier (non truetype font) on 0.9.35
and confirm the coure.fon md5 as ..

fac1cac04f5717b67e642ac8197f4c1d /usr/local/share/wine/fonts/coure.fon
4912 bytes

This would at least confirm whether the problem lies with fontforge on
my system or elsewhere.

Thanks again for your help, it's much appreciated.

Nick
