Hi,
I am trying to install Fable the Lost Chapters on my linux mint machine. When I run playonlinux and do the install for Fable I get promted the serial key, that is ok, but when I type in the key the font is too large and I can't type in all the necessary characters in the boxes. The solution on wine was to do a "winetricks corefonts tahoma". It worked but I couldn't play the game and thought playonlinux would be helpful. I cannot seem to know how to change the font to be able to enter in my serial key. If anyone could help I would be very thankful.
Thanks, Daniel

I added the installation of core fonts to the installer, does it help?

Otherwise, to do the equivalent with PlayOnLinux interface:
Configure button > (select the virtual drive) > Install components tab > Microsoft core fonts

No it actually didn't. I tried to install Microsoft core fonts and that little loading circle spiraled for about three seconds and then the installer window just went away. Since it didn't download anything I assumed it failed.

Ok, so I just took the install files that worked when I installed it in wine and playonlinux didn't seem to fix what I thought It would. I get this error "A problem occurred initializing DirectDraw. Hardware acceleration may be disabled, please run DXDIAG." I have no idea how to fix this :-/

Downloading the fonts is done when PlayOnLinux is run for the first time, so installing them in a virtual drive is almost instantaneous alright
