I have it working under wine (playonlinux, actually) and it works fine. The fonts don’t work right, and the file browser is a windows file browser, but other than that, I have no complaints. I also have it installed in a VM, in case I need to do fonts, but honestly, it’s easier to use inkscape to do writing anyway.
I roughly followed this, IIRC:

Specifically, there was a useful post with these instructions:
I got it running on my Laptop, seems to be running fine
Here are some hints for installing it under playonlinux
Select a 32bit windows (64 bit may or may not work)
Customize the components (winetricks for plain wine) and install the following:
- POL_Install_directx9
- POL_Install_dotnet40
- POL_Install_gdiplus
My laptop also had “POL_Install_corefonts” installed, but when I attempted to verify the installation procedure here on my stationary pc it caused all text to look like it was written in Greek.
Seems to work just fine without the core fonts.This was verified / attempted using an unregistered “Version 7.622 / 6th May 2015” release.
I’m 90% sure I just found packages that were similarly named to those above, but I can’t see how I can check how this one is specifically installed. There’s this “playonlinux vault” thing, but I’ve paid for my copy, so I don’t want to share that, in case it puts you on my license.
If you know more about playonlinux, tell me which file to post, and I’ll get it for you. My playonlinux is version 4.2.2, and I’m on ubuntu 14.04.something.
