Problems in Wine

[andypandy99]

I have a very odd problem in wine. I have a dual boot with Fedora Core 7 and Windows XP. First I had the Fat32 filesystem for the Windows XP partition. Now I have changed it to NTFS and now I can't see anything in wine. Where there should be "normal" letters there a odd symbols. I have tried to reinstall wine, but with no result.

Any suggestions how to solve this.

did you change the partition entry in fstab ?

This is my /etc/fstab

# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>

tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0
devpts /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0
sysfs /sys sysfs defaults 0 0
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
#Entry for /dev/sda2 :
LABEL=/ / ext3 defaults 1 1
/dev/sda1 /win ntfs-3g defaults,locale=en_US.UTF-8 0 0
#Entry for /dev/sda3 :
LABEL=SWAP-sda3 swap swap defaults 0 0

/dev/sda1 /win ntfs-3g defaults,locale=en_US.UTF-8 0 0

What does the 'locale=en_US.UTF-8 ' do? I've not seen it before and would try removing it, I'm not sure Windows supports Unicode all that well.
