adding extra fonts on Jaunty

Asked by dino99

hi,
i'm looking to extra fonts for adding to Jaunty: is there a place where i can pick font like "winding.ttf" needed by one of my app ?

this font is part of windows xp, but when i copy/paste it in the wine folder fonts, i can't use it. So icons are not displayed or not work well. I've added all the fonts given with winetricks, but there no equivalent font for wingding.

this font give some symbols like arrows, stars and other grahic hands ....

Hello,
is very simple to do, you must copy the font in:
    ~/.fonts/
At this point you must reboot.
Best regards.
