Hi, let me answer all uncertainties I noticed:
1. Installing mono and gecko when prompted is more than advised. I know that it probably works without them, but those 2 are important for proper working of the emulated Windows.
2. Tons of error messages are completely OK - that's how Windows programs work, there are similar tons of debug messages in Windows as well, but you don't see them since they are hidden behind the graphics Smile
3. Regarding nice fonts, hmmm, that's strange, because I have nicer fonts than in Windows Smile But, I think that this might help - new M$ fonts like Calibri etc use embedded bitmaps. We have to disable them with the following added to .fonts.conf in your home directory:

Code:
<!-- disable embedded bitmaps in fonts to fix Calibri, Cambria, etc. -->
<match target="font">
        <edit mode="assign" name="embeddedbitmap"><bool>false</bool></edit>
</match>

Add it before the ending </fontconfig> in that file. Logout and login to make it work.
