I installed SumatraPDF with Wine and it works fine but I have problem about fonts. It shows English characters but doesn't shows Georgian. Which font should I install to fix this problem?

First, I'd tried to install fonts available with Winetricks.

Run Winetricks

Select your wineprefix or default wineprefix if it has used.

Select task Install a font

Choose needed font package.

Wait while package files will be downloaded and installed.

Restart your wineprefix

I think the problem can be solved with installing mscorefonts, unifonts (MS Arial Unicode), tahoma font package OR with installing allfonts font package.

But, perhaps it isn't solution for you.

In two words the problem is using Windows-encoded fonts or special fonts installed with SumatraPDF.
