Thanks aay. It worked for me! Since I have no M$ I just stole some true type fonts from a M$ Office cd. Still- it's very freaky watching winapps run on my Linuxbox.
Some people have recently experienced problems running Wine in recent versions of Knoppix. People have most likely seen a message telling them that fonts are being configured and configuration makes it to something like 99% before Wine crashes.
There is a fix.
Copy your MS fonts into .wine/fake_windows/Windows/Fonts
You should then be able to run the app without any problems.
P.S.
You may be able to solve this problem without having to grab fonts from a windows machine at all.
I haven't tested this but do this.
apt-get install msttcorefonts
apt-get install binfmt-support
Hope this helps people.

Try Installing WineX
cvs -dserver:anonymous@cvs.winex.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/winex loginCode:apt-get remove --purge wine apt-get install tetex-base apt-get install defoma apt-get install msttcorefonts apt-get install binfmt-support
Hit Enter when prompted for a password
cvs -z3 -dserver:anonymous@cvs.winex.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/winex co wine
(You probably will get following compile errors - just read fix and apply)
configure: error: /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.a is present on your system.
This prevents linking to OpenGL. Delete the file and restart configure. (Move it to /home/knoppix/tmp)

wine -debugmsg +file wordpad.exe &>/tmp/winelog.txt (DeBugging Example)
Is it possible to have both Wine and WineX running in one linux-box?
Thx, seth.
I have wine running fine in Knoppix 3.1, after alot of work!
It runs fine, error messages are never seen.
For those of you who don't want to go around randomly moving or removing files at the request of configure scripts, I have found that
replacing the line
withCode:if test -f /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.a -a ! -f /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so
(negating the logic of the conditional)Code:if test ! -f /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.a -a ! -f /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so
allowed everything to run smoothly. I found this on configure:9406.
After doing this (cvs co on 15th February 2004) I did not run into the other problems with long comments etc.
It is also sufficient to put just one (GPL) Bitstream Vera font inside the fonts directory. This way you need nothing from Miscrosoft.
