BibleWorks 7 on Linux
BibleWorks 7 on Linux, using Wine 0.9.53, is mostly happy. Here are the problems I've had.
1) BibleWorks specifies Ariel for English text, but if you don't have Ariel installed then you get your Gnome default (which is what I wanted anyway). The font metrics however will apparently be Ariel's, and that will mess up especially the search pane. In Tools>Options>Fonts this is fixed by changing the font for the "Search Window Fonts" and "Browse Window Fonts" to whatever your default is anyway.
2) The Getting Started page formats spectacularly badly, and the links don't work. In the BibleWorks "videos" directory you can just directly load the file gs000.htm into your favorite browser and all will be well.
3) Likewise the help videos don't work, but that's no trouble; you can also load them from the videos directory into your browser directly under Gnome.
