removing samyak/oriya fonts for wine
when installing the dotnet packages in wine, i got this error -
user@darkstar:~/.wine$ ./winetricks dotnet11
Executing w_do_call dotnet11
Executing load_dotnet11

-misc-samyak-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-iso10646-1
-misc-samyak-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-iso10646-1
------------------------------------------------------
Please uninstall the Samyak/Oriya font, e.g. 'sudo dpkg -r ttf-oriya-fonts', then log out and log in again. That font causes strange crashes in .net programs.
------------------------------------------------------
to remove the font package
# its a part of the ttf-indic-fonts package, so we need to remove it
removepkg ttf-indic-fonts-0.4.7.4-noarch-1.txz
# there are other references to them – using a handy sed command you can find them and then edit the file to remove.
# i ran the following commands in the /usr/share/fonts directory
grep -nr samy . | sed 's@\(Samyak\)@@'
grep -nr oriy . | sed 's@\(Oriya\)@@'
after the oriya and samyak fonts and all mentions of them are removed, log out and log back in and you should be all set to move forward with the dotnet11 install
