What works

Just about everything. With the wine 1.2 release, the log button finally works and sound is much more reliable.

What does not

Although sounds work, music will not play due to DEP's use of an old proprietary MIDI player. More seriously, Pounce whisper windows will crash unless images are turned off. File associations still do not work properly - either there is no program association or it tries to open IE, which is not the correct program.

Workarounds

What was not tested

Still have not tested the Buy Cookie button on the F tab. Also, still using the i686 version of wine and not the x86_64 version.

Hardware tested

Additional Comments

There is now an official Mac client using Wine, downloadable from their download page. The custom roll of Wine has fixed the crashing whisper windows, so there is a workaround possible.

Dreamweaver lags because it cannot find the fonts it is looking for, and the font used by default is nearly unreadable.  This is resolved by installing winetricks and the corefonts package. Alternatively, you can install msttcorefonts.  Depending on your distribution, this package may be included in the default repositories or you may need to wget it from another source.

Ubuntu users, who have the package in default repositories, may use apt-get to install it:

sudo apt-get install msttcorefonts

RPM compatible distributions may use the following commands to retrieve and install msttcorefonts:

su

cd /tmp/
wget http://corefonts.sourceforge.net/msttcorefonts-2.0-1.spec
yum -y install rpm-build cabextract ttmkfdir

rpmbuild -bb msttcorefonts-2.0-1.spec
rpm -ivh /root/rpmbuild/RPMS/noarch/msttcorefonts-2.0-1.noarch.rpm --nodeps
