Installed Wine, can't read text.

I just installed wine using Yum. Installed easily with no probs. However when I came to start an application I couldn't read the text. It looked like it had been smudged and just looked like wavy broken lines.

Do I have to configure something or add some extra fonts? It looks quite strange.

Thanks,

Dave.

Wine sometimes has problems displaying the native Linux fonts. Try installing the Microsoft true type fonts, and use them with wine applications. Arial works well.

yum install msttcore-fonts
