| Hi
I am trying to install GoogleEarth using wine but the fonts are crappy and
hard to read. Is there any way I can get wine to use the nice Linux
postscript or other readable fonts ? If not, which Debian package do I need
to install to get some easy to read fonts ?

Possibly you are missing the fonts that Wine or your app is trying to
use, and something nasty is being substituted as a default. You would
need to have, I suppose, Arial, Times and Courier New in your
windows/fonts directory on what Wine thinks of as your C: drive. They
would be ttf files. Maybe someone could post the file names of these
fonts? Then if you have nice truetype fonts, you could copy them into
the windows/fonts directory and rename them so that they get used
instead of the ones you are getting now.
