what do you need to do to fix this bullshit
How do i play vn on lonix
Mason Young
Anthony Reyes
Switch to windows
Oliver Mitchell

Why do you type like a retard?
Anthony Morales
Install the fonts you're missing you retarded cunt
Gavin Russell
The Japs use operating system for erotic games
Jose Baker
Would that solve his fucked up English text too though?
Jayden Ramirez
You can't. But you can lie in different threads, saying that everything works without problems, like other users.
Justin Brooks
If it quacks like a duck...
Andrew Russell
Don't bother, just stick to Windows. Eroges are best played on Windows
Benjamin Jenkins
that wouldnt solve the rest. war of human tanks had same issue with fonts in wine. but even after you fix it, game is still borked
Jack Bennett
launch the game with the japanese locale
David Peterson
The easy mode way is to just run Windows in Virtualbox.

Follow the steps here: learnjapanese.moe
By the way, I recommend trying out gamescope-git if you aren't able to fullscreen the game. This happens often with VNs and if it annoys you enough gamescope will often fix this.

Don't play VNs, they are proprietary.
gnu.org
stop shilling your site.

> stop shilling your site
This is also good if you want to stay on mainstream sites: gist.github.com
At least it doesn't recommend stupid shit like AlphaROMdie

It just tells you how to run proprietary software, which defeats the purpose of running a free operating system in the first place.
Wyatt Ortiz
1) install the official directx9 through winetricks
2) copy all of the windows fonts from a windows install to the .fonts folder inside your home directory
3) make a custom shift-jis locale and use it for japanese games
4) install lav_filters into wine so that movies play properly
i made a script that automates all of that as part of my auto-installation and -ricing compilation

Free software is not inherently ethical. It's a start, but it's no guarantee of anything. Not of security, or good intentions. Just look at Signal messenger. You have very little freedom because of the way they have cordoned off their ecosystem. Or look at Chromium, which is de-facto free software even though it is so immensely complicated that it's too hard to verify whether it is or isn't free software.
Why does everything have to be a purity test? Even the GNU Project itself disagrees with you: gnu.org
Some free software is better than no free software. I agree on principle that you should try to run free software on a free software operating system, as that is much of the point. But guess what - if you're running a free software operating system, your CPU and GPU are still running non-free firmware.
It doesn't make it any better if you don't run any proprietary microcode to update your proprietary firmware, which is the bizarre argument the FSF makes with RYF hardware.
100% free software is not possible right now. You aren't running it. You aren't living up to your own ideal.

>look at Chromium
It would be even worse if it was nonfree. Ungoogled chromium wouldn't be a thing. If Signal was nonfree, people wouldn't take it seriously and think of it as a WhatsApp clone.
>Some free software is better than no free software.
So you should agree that running VNs is a step backwards in this direction.
> your CPU and GPU are still running non-free firmware.
Most of the time you can't control it. But you can control what you're running in your userspace. And frankly, userspace software is much more dangerous than firmware than can't do much.

It might be nonfree! Parabola classifies it as nonfree because they were unable to verify it was free software.
> If Signal was nonfree, people wouldn't take it seriously and think of it as a WhatsApp clone.
My point isn't that Signal being free software is bad, but that to be ethical, something more than a copyleft license is needed. It didn't stop KHTML from morphing into Chromium and eating the browser world.
> So you should agree that running VNs is a step backwards in this direction.
These faggots are still going to be playing their eroge on Windows if they can't get it running on GNU/Linux. Which is better? Running Oni Chichi through WINE or through using Windows on QEMU/virt-manager (with no network connection, and instead of Virtualbox because VBox uses non-free extensions for basic functionality)? Genuine question. At that point it seems to be more about convenience.
It would be *nice* if more VNs were free software, but games are the only thing that will remain 99% non-free software. Everything else I can see eventually being replaced free software.
I suppose my follow-up question would be, do you prefer that these people play HTML5 games or use Google Stadia instead? Where users don't even get access to the binary (and so is no longer a non-free sw issue)?
It's all bad, but they're going to do it anyway. Weebs want their gaymes. Wouldn't you prefer they do non-free things on a free operating system?
> Most of the time you can't control it. But you can control what you're running in your userspace. And frankly, userspace software is much more dangerous than firmware than can't do much
I agree, of course.
