Using wine and fedora, i have managed to add all of my ttf fonts on my
windows partition using

chkfontpath --add <directory>
   where <directory> is the location of the ttf fonts

and

ttmkfdir -o fonts.scale mkfontdir
   in the directory of the ttf fonts

   in the fonts howto it says to execute
ps ax| grep xfs
   to find the port number, but it only returns
   xfs -<something i don't remember> -daemon &

xset -q
    this returns that i'm using port 7100 i think... which is what is
listed in
    the XF86Config file

when i type xfontsel all the ttf fonts show up and i checked the
courier font and all the characters look ok.

then i added a font needed by a windows application called by wine
using

ttmkdir -o fonts.scale mkfontdir

it shows up in xfontsel, but the accented characters are garbled...
the windows application (a french cd-rom dictionary) works but the
accented characters are garbled too.

what should i do to correct the problem. should i post this to the
wine newsgroup?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
