navigating into hidden directories

Hi marcus aurelius

After looking at my setup of WINE. the location is actually:
~/.wine/drive_c/windows/Fonts

So in terminal you would type:
cd ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/Fonts

Also just as a suggestion, would it not be easier to use Nautilus (the file browser), to show hidden directories press CTRL+H. Then you can use the file browser to copy the fonts and navigate the folder.

Hope that helps.

Or, assuming you really want to access it inside the dosdevices directory:

cd ~/.wine/dosdevices/c:/windows/fonts

Please note that the fonts directory is in capitals (it is on mine anyway) and as linux is case sensitive the command Eliah Kagan posted won't work. Please use the command below to access inside dosdevices:
cd ~/.wine/dosdevices/c:/windows/Fonts

Hope that helps.

actually, i can't seem to get into /.wine

macrus, I assume you are using the terminal -- it wont be /.wine, as the leading / indicates that this is the top of the tree

It will be ~/.wine , as the ~ means $(HOME) , that is to say /home/marcus_aurelius/.wine (or whatever your username is on your PC).

"Please note that the fonts directory is in capitals (it is on mine anyway) and as linux is case sensitive the command Eliah Kagan posted won't work."

Andrew is quite right about this. Thanks for catching that! (So the correct command, if you want to access the fonts directory inside dosdevices, is indeed, "cd ~/.wine/dosdevices/c:/windows/Fonts".)

"actually, i can't seem to get into /.wine"

As mycae has indicated, each user has their own "Windows system" via Wine. It's *not* global; rather, .wine is located inside your home directory.
