B4J Question [SOLVED] Linux/wine - program running from the IDE uses Greek(?) font?

[walt61]

When running outside the IDE, all is well. However, when running the attached (based on the default project when creating a new UI one in B4J) from the IDE, it looks like a Greek font is being used for all views except the form title. Changing e.g. a button's font to Arial instead of the default one does make the button look like it's supposed to, but a Msgbox will still use the Greek font - see attached images. It happens in both Debug and Release modes. Is there a way to correct this, perhaps (wild guess) by somehow (#VirtualMachineArgs ?) instructing the JVM to use a specific font as default?

Environment:
- Linux Mint 21.1 Cinnamon
- B4J 9.80
- OpenJDK 11.0.1
- Wine: Ubuntu 6.0.3~repack-1

Thanks in advance!

Strange. The IDE adds this VM arg: -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8

This should be the only difference. You can try running the jar from the terminal with this arg and see whether it causes this.

It seems to be wine-related. If I run the jar from wine, the issue is there. If I package the program all is fine, with or without the arg. Very puzzling (to me anyway ).

Found a solution after lots of trial and error:
- mkdir ~/.fonts
- from a Windows installation, copy the C:\Windows\Fonts folder contents to that directory, which solves the issue
