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.
