[cw-discuss] Mac Beta - Visio 2003 - Update Request

[Andrew Bogott]

Steve --

    I probably need to provide a simpler route to this workaround, but 
currently the process is a bit ugly.  Go here:

http://media.codeweavers.com/pub/crossover/office/support/corefonts/

In that directory are several .exe files, one per font family.  Run one 
of those .exes in the bottle that contains Visio (using the Run 
Command... menu option) and it should install the font in that bottle.

    Let me know if that doesn't work :)
