[SOLVED] 80column game started in wine: what font to use?

floppy_stuttgart · 04-30-2022, 09:48 AM

Hello,
I was starting a reversi game in a 80column terminal started with wine: I see the attachment.
Looks like I installed the wrong font: which one should I install?
Any advice and recommendation is welcome.
(lucida and consolas fonts were installed with winetricks; the result is still not good)

UPDATE and closure: installing microsoft fonts in linux directly solved the issue

Quote:

apt-get install msttcorefonts

Now the reversi looks like a reversi grid.
The video emulator came from there https://hp.giesselink.com/HPIL/Ilvideo80_1.3.zip

Please post solutions as a follow-up post - not in an edit - because:

1) it removes the thread from the list of "Zero Reply Threads".
2) it causes anyone who might have subscribed to get notified (which editing doesn't do).

Final closure: evidence this is done (Photo) with the command

You can choose the font by yourself which font you want to get.
