finding fonts

hi guys,
is there anyway to find out which fonts a program is using, so i know which fonts i need to install on Wine, cos all the ?????? dont make much sense to me)



also can anyone suggest a easy to use mobile phone (cell phone) software (preferably with a GUI available)

TIA

Edit: obviously trying to run Win software on Wine

thankies, i was just googling it, but not having much luck

 

Just a guess, but I think you need msfonts. The debian package is called msttcorefonts.

 

thankies, started dowloading in konsole :beer:

 

nope, didn't work, putting msttcorefonts in, look


Edit:i will keep trying

 

If synaptic lets you search for package discriptions, seach for anything this reference to "microsoft". The debian package search is down, is I can't look for it. The package in FreeBSD is called msttf. It may also be possible that the package you installed did not install the fonts correctly. Did you restart X after installing? New fonts require a restart of the X server to bring them up. You may even need to add the path to your new fonts in the xorg.conf file under "Paths".

 

no just a simulated Wine reboot

will do that then

i'll try that after restarting X, & if that doesn't work i'll fire up synaptic:beer:thanks
