Issues with Fonts in Linux

[drkoktor]

Hello people! I run linux as primary and I tried to run a few games with wine. Some of them, one in particular was in unity, are missing the text. I guess its an issue with missing fonts but even after I installed some "optional fonts" from microsoft. Anybody had the same issue?

I remember having that issue in the past and installing a MS corefonts package using winetricks or something like that.

But that was an old solution not sure how things are right now since I'm back with windows.

What game is it?
If you launch it from terminal, e.g.:

cd /path/to/game/
wine game.exe

what does the log say? Maybe it mentions the missing font. If you find the TTF file on the Internet, you can drop it into your wineprefix. The path should be something like:
/home/YOUR_USERNAME/.wine/drive_c/windows/Fonts

In the past I had problems like that, but the package ttf-mscorefonts-installer solved them.
