I installed SumatraPDF with Wine and it works fine but I have problem about fonts. It shows English characters but doesn't shows Georgian. Which font should I install to fix this problem?

First, I'd tried to install fonts available with Winetricks.

  1. Run Winetricks
  2. Select your wineprefix or default wineprefix if it has used.
  3. Select task Install a font
  4. Choose needed font package.
  5. Wait while package files will be downloaded and installed.
  6. Restart your wineprefix

I think the problem can be solved with installing mscorefonts, unifonts (MS Arial Unicode), tahoma font package OR with installing allfonts font package.

But, perhaps it isn't solution for you.
In two words the problem is using Windows-encoded fonts or special fonts installed with SumatraPDF.

I had same problem when I use Balsamiq Mockups 3. The font not readable when I renaming the project.

I use this reference to solve this problem: https://wiki.winehq.org/Winetricks

I download the winetricks script

cd "${HOME}/Downloads"
wget  https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Winetricks/winetricks/master/src/winetricks

Make it executable

chmod +x winetricks

Installing cabextract (requirement for installing corefonts with winetricks)

sudo apt-get install cabextract

And then execute the command

sh winetricks corefonts

It will installing basic font
