Bug 253687 – app-emulation/wine-1.1.12 : Ugly fonts (no hinting or smoothing)

• Status: RESOLVED UPSTREAM
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Guillaume Tissier 2009-01-04 11:42:28 UTC]

Lastest version of wine (1.1.12) doesn't seems to support font hinting or smoothing, as older versions don't have this problem

Reproducible: Always

same issue here on amd64 profile.

Are you sure, it's related to wine upgrade ?
Cause it may be xorg-server 1.5.2 -> 1.5.3 move.
If so, this would probably be related to the "missing fonts
in qt apps" bug.

for me it's the only app to be broken.

Downgrading to 1.1.11 solves the problem, ineluctable proof ?

# Create a temporary file with the necessary registry settings:

echo 'REGEDIT4

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop]
"FontSmoothing"="2"
"FontSmoothingType"=dword:00000002
"FontSmoothingGamma"=dword:00000578
"FontSmoothingOrientation"=dword:00000001
' > ~/wine_fontsmoothing.reg

Mariano hack works for me, You'll have to create temp file as explained and run :
 regedit ~/wine_fontsmoothing.reg

[Comment 7 Patrizio Bassi 2009-02-14 12:17:26 UTC]

it's fine for me too after the ack.

a warning would be nice, as Guillaume said
