I recently upgraded to Fedora 25. I had Battle.net installed fine when I was on 21. After struggling to finally get it installed on 25 I am running into an issue where the login screen has no login button, although aside from that everything else appears fine. After doing some research it appears to be related to the core fonts not being installed. Nothing I have tried works, including installing them via winetricks, or installing them from the main install (as opposed to Configure->Install componants menu, which doesn't work either).

I finally tried launching PoL from a terminal, and this is the message I am getting (and only in terminal, no errors showing in PoL, the window just dies, or in the main install says it worked when it didn't):

Downloading: andale32.exe...
[POL_Call] Message: ----- Ending function POL_Internal_InstallFonts -----
[source] Message: Installing microsoft fonts
cp: cannot stat '/home/username/.PlayOnLinux//fonts/*': No such file or directory
[POL_Call] Message: ----- Ending function POL_Install_corefonts -----
[POL_SetupWindow_Close] Message: Closing window for pid 28520

I tried copying over the fonts from my old installation, but that didn't fix the issue, and when I go to install them again as a componant it deletes them all and then I get the same error message. Any ideas?

Hi. I'm having the same issue with POL 4.2.12 on Ubuntu 17.04. I'd like to see this running as it seems to be a requirement to run the Blizzard App.

Any hint on how to fix this would be welcome. Thanks.

Ubuntu 17.10

PlayOnLinux 4.2.12

Can *NOT* successfully install Core Fonts. Briefly states it is downloading andale32.exe, then the window disappears without the progress bar making any progress on the download. No core fonts get installed.

A solution would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Debian jessie and stretch, several versions of POL including 4.2.12: same problem, no solution. There are several threads on this forum regarding this issue, all without solution. Copying the font files into the right directory doesn't help either. It seems that font installation works for some people but not for others, no matter what you do.

I like the general approach of POL, but if you happen to play WoW, try Lutris.

I am having the exact same symptoms as tetsuo29 described it.

I've tried PlayOnMac 4.2.12, 4.3.4, Wine in version 2.0, 2.21, 3.0.4, 3.11, 3.14, 3.17, 3.21, 4.0-rc4 and 4.0-rc5, all 32 Bit.

64 Bit I've tried 4.0-rc5, 3.17 and 3.14 until I have given up.

I have also tried making a new bottle, then installing the executable by manually selecting it and also installing the executable, as I knew that Microsoft Core Fonts will be installed when selecting the installer "wizard" without making a bottle first - without success. I have also tried visiting https://www.playonmac.com/en/app-346-Microsoft_Fonts.html and clicked "Install this program" with the exact same results.

Currently Mac OS X 10.13.6 17G4015

Thing is: I already had the software in question successfully running in the past, it must've been in the timespan where Mac OS X 10.11.x to 10.13.x were the most up to date systems by Apple, so about from 2015 - 2018. In that period of time, POM worked as expected. Fonts were able to be installed back then. This issue must be relatively new. Maybe the files on the servers were moved somewhere else and the URLs in the install scripts are outdated? It's just a random guess, but an idea nevertheless.

I've already tried winebottler and wineskin winery as a substitute, but they both fail as well (I'm not yet experienced with those) and as I said already: I know for a fact, that POM is able to run the software I need, I've had it running once upon a time. All that seems to be missing are those fonts.

Hello,

Can you try to send me the error logs when this is happening?

Thanks

Quentin, if you look at my original post I did this in PoL and posted the output already. I am guessing it's the same in PoM:

Yes, but the error isn't saying the remote font doesn't exist, it's saying the local directory doesn't exist:

cp: /Users/highsierra/Library/PlayOnMac//fonts/*: No such file or directory

cp: cannot stat '/home/username/.PlayOnLinux//fonts/*': No such file or directory

Could it be the double slash...?

That's not the only font from CoreFonts, right? The software in question still doesn't launch correctly with only arial32.exe installed.

Should be fixed now
