Revalver III fonts in WINE

Post by heminder »

hey, i hope this is in the right place.

i got Revalver III by peavey, and installed it in WINE on my Ubuntu Studio 9.10 laptop.

it seems to be working fine sonically, but the GUI is a bit laggy and, more annoyingly, some fonts aren't rendered very well. i have a feeling this is due to the WINE layer (or something). the fonts are especially bad in tooltips and some of the drop down menus in Revalver.

here's a pic:

so is there something i can do to WINE to improve this?

Installing mstcorefonts can sometimes help font problems like that in wine.

Tis true.
I had the same problem using photoshop before using Linux mint. Installing them will help greatly.

No, just installing msttcorefonts doesn't help here.

Try:

$wget http://www.kegel.com/wine/winetricks
$sh winetricks allfonts

And you are done. Check:

thanks for the replies.

i already have the M$ fonts installed.
Pablo, that seemed to have worked pretty well.
the fonts are now readable, thank you.

it still lags a little when turning the knobs in the program.
but i get the feeling this is either inherited with using WINE, or it's meant to do that.
