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?

Why aren't you simply using a PDF viewer native to Linux like Evince or Okular?– David FoersterOct 25, 2014 at 9:16

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.

If you use Winetricks then obvious that a wineprefix is an alias for your application under which you run it. Thus for restarting some wineprefix you should restart your "Wine app" or "Wine" completely.– swiftOct 15, 2012 at 12:16

I had same problem when I use Balsamiq Mockups 3. The font not readable when I renaming the project.
I use this reference to solve this problem: https://wiki.winehq.org/Winetricks
I download the winetricks script
cd "${HOME}/Downloads"
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Winetricks/winetricks/master/src/winetricks
Make it executable
chmod +x winetricks
Installing cabextract (requirement for installing corefonts with winetricks)
sudo apt-get install cabextract
And then execute the command
sh winetricks corefonts
It will installing basic font
