Interesting.  I don't get that error on my Mac.  However, I did run winetricks allfonts on it.  I think you stated you had done this as well?

Since I don't have a 64 bit system, but can do exactly what you just did, I'll give it a try, soon.  I have to get the FC13 'stuff' and see what happens.

Was this on FC13 or FC12/13 (if you can remember.)

Interesting because on my Mac, I had to do the opposite.  Maybe things are different on Linux/FC13.  Will find out quickly.

And my apologies for sounding like a snob, but the more information provided up front the faster we, as voluteers, can provide you with assistance.  Otherwise, we have to make assumptions and mine were incorrect.

It is interesting that a batch file is throwing these types of errors though.
