Installed Wine and POL last night, then installed the MS Spyder board game. The game window opens but is blank. Oh pooh! I figured out the debug feature and found the POL log and it states I need to install the MS TrueType fonts. Search here and found no clear solution to doing that but, I did use POL to install MScorefonts...which did not resolve my problem.
I tried attachng the POL log but do not see a way to do this.
Thanks but...I tried that last night and no joy. The POL debug log states this:
[10/11/22 15:37:43] - Running wine-1.7.25 spider.exe (Working directory : /home/lou/.PlayOnLinux/wineprefix/MicrosoftSpider/drive_c) Wine cannot find the FreeType font library. To enable Wine to use TrueType fonts please install a version of FreeType greater than or equal to 2.0.5. http://www.freetype.org fixme:htmlhelp:HtmlHelpW HH case HH_INITIALIZE not handled. fixme:htmlhelp:HtmlHelpW HH_PRETRANSLATEMESSAGE unimplemented
I will guess the issue I have with the solution offered by DeanG is I am using the incorrect syntax. Freetype.org shows a solution but it involves compiling and I do not think I am up to that just yet...especially not knowing if their solution will work on Zorin.
Installing a few MS games are all that holds me back from disconnecting my Win 7 and sticking it in the basement.
