Mt4 on Linux Etch 4.0

I recently switched my system to Linux and have installed MT4 under Wine. The trading system seems to run fine (with a few small glitches) but MetaEditor is a disaster - it cannot be used to actually edit code at all though it still seems to compile okay.

I've read in other places that I should try copying fonts over from my windows installation. Y no longer have a windows installation and wonder if someone can tell me specifically which font files are needed? Perhaps I can find them somewhere on the internet.

Thanks.

Obviously there's not much interest in the mechanics of running MT4 on Linux. Too bad - it's a very viable alternative to Windows. Cheaper (free), faster and not all that difficult to install.

Anyway, through diligent internet research, I've solved my problem with MetaEditor and am posting the solution for the edification of others who may encounter the same situation.

For Debian Linux:

apt-get install msttcorefonts

You may have to tinker with your sources.lst file if you're running some other flavor of Linux but once those fonts are installed, MetaEditor runs as it should (and a lot of other things like web pages begin to look a lot better).

you probably already found this info but if not,
