Instead of having to run a script after installing Darwine to set fonts up, I’ve packaged everything into a .pkg that installs the latest version of Darwine, FontForge, FreeType, and symlinks fonts from /Library/Fonts to the proper directory for Darwine to use. Enjoy!

If you’re updating to a newer version of Darwine, you don’t need to reinstall FontForge or FreeType and can deselect those packages, however it wont break anything if you reinstall them again.

These builds are and will always be Intel only. Wine, and by extension, these builds of Darwine do not emulate anything. They are an API layer. For it to run on PPC, it would need to emulate some x86 stuff. This is what Darwine originally attempted to do in combination with QEMU, however it is no longer necessary with the switch to Intel.

There is nothing that I can do about OpenGL not working. The problem is that libGL does not link properly when Darwine gets compiled. It’s a compiler problem that Apple knows about and needs to fix.
