Corefonts and nvapi fixes are not needed anymore about protonfixes HOT 6 CLOSED

Don't want to open up a new issue, since it fits in here. There are now some bugs with protonfixes and Proton 3.16-4.

For once, on new prefixes I get this error message sometimes, this gets reported even games don't have any gamefixes.:

Proton: ************************************************
Proton: THERE IS AN ERROR IN YOUR user_settings.py FILE:
Proton: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xe2 in position 65: ordinal not in range(128)
Proton: ************************************************

On other prefixes, no matter if new or old, the Zenity progress window doesn't go away, it stays up in focus. I just tested a few games, but this happens on Batman: Arkham Asylum and 100,000 BC. However, this is related to the fonts already been installed, which throws this error:

Proton: ************************************************
Proton: THERE IS AN ERROR IN YOUR user_settings.py FILE:
Proton: [Errno 17] File exists: '/home/noxp/.config/protonfixes/mscorefonts/arialbi.ttf' -> '/media/daten/SteamApps/steamapps/compatdata/35140/pfx/drive_c/windows/Fonts/arialbi.ttf'
Proton: ************************************************

This can be prevented by not installing corefonts if they are already installed. However the check in https://github.com/simons-public/protonfixes/blob/master/protonfixes/corefonts.py#L29 seems not to work.

... and nvapi patches

No, Nvidia cards are now reported as AMD cards, that's all.

@NoXPhasma
You can use ~/.config/protonfixes/config.ini as temporary fix for corefonts and zenity

[main]
enable_checks = false
enable_splash = false
enable_font_links = false

from protonfixes.

@pchome Thanks.

edit
That doesn't work. Protonfixes ignores any thing I've put in it. It still tries to install the font and even shows the splash.

Okay, it works, but I have to manually update protonfixes, as pypy still delivers 1.0.14:

pip3 install --user protonfixes -U
Requirement already up-to-date: protonfixes in ./.local/lib/python3.6/site-packages (1.0.14)

from protonfixes.

@NoXPhasma
I'm using several git versions with symlink to currently desired in my ~/.local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/.

That's easier to use/update (git pull).

~protonfixes -> protonfixes.git/protonfixes
/protonfixes.git
/protonfixes.my
/protonfixes.orig

from protonfixes.

I added a try/except for symlinking corefonts that should fix the error when the files already exist.

@vanyasem I'm going to keep the corefonts and nvapi fix since there will probably still be people using Proton 3.7 that will need them. Also, from what I can tell only a few of the core fonts are being replicated (times, arial, arialbd, and cour)

@NoXPhasma I've uploaded the last commit to pypi so you should be able to update it from pip now. I wasn't able to replicate the 'ascii' codec error you were getting, would you mind opening another issue with some more details?

from protonfixes.

Sure.

edit
@simons-public I updated to 1.0.16 and started several games, but the 'ascii' codec seems to be fixed! If I encounter it again I will open a new issue.
