Hi all,

try to run a WD15 Program under Ubuntu/Wine. So fare it works ok, but printing seems to be a problem:

output to: preview, print to printer, PDF : they all show no fonts (but any lines and shadows in the report are ok) . so i receive mainly empty pages, but the number of pages are always ok.

output to RTF and HTML: everything ok, even if I choose individual fonts (which is possible in my software)

Thats why I suppose its not a problem with the Windows fonts in WINE/Ubuntu.

Anybody with experience in this area ?

Regards, Heinz

Try copying all windows fonts to wineHQ virtual windows directory in yr Ubuntu.

Might not work as wineHQ only the emulator.

And it's buggy in native 32/64 linux app deploying from wd22.

Just live with it as it's a workaround.

I've been using it as a little pain and juggling to print to zebra printer either
by native linux wd22App (.so) or just coping .exe + dll.

Hello Heinz,

I have about exactly the same problem using an OS X / Wine combination... Anything graphical prints fine, just no text... Even if I just try to use the "iPrint"...

I think it may be an issue related to the Mono .NET framework which is being used instead of the Microsoft .NET on Apple and Ubuntu...

So far I have not found a solution yet... Let's keep each other informed on this issue ;-)

Regards,

Jeroen

Hi King,

thanks for the tip, but it did not work.

In the font dialog of my WD Program , I still see the fonts installed under WINE, nothing from the virtual windows fonts directory

in the meantime i found out, that MS Wordpad has the same problem! (empty preview)

at the moment I stop further investigations
