Bugzilla Bug 125145

After upgrade to wine-0.9.9 I got very nasty menu/default font. Look at this
screen:
http://student.prz.rzeszow.pl/~raku/gentoo/wine/wine-font.jpg

When I downgrade to wine-0.9.8-r1, font is OK (default Arial or something which
look close to Arial)

can you name a simple program that comes with wine that exhibits this issue ? 
like `notepad` or something ?

This is because: you probably need fontforge (which is not included in the
dependancies for 0.9.9) to build fonts, and in any case, it don't detects the
font. Check: http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4662

All menus in all programs running in wine use this font (which is called
Brrritty and is installed on my system).
As I said before, in 0.9.8-r1 font is normal (Arial-like)

Installing fontforge and recompilling wine doesn't help.

the font wine falls back to depends highly on your system ... mine for example
fallsback to a nepali font ;)

As I said on winehq bugs tracking system, it uses the first font it detects.

thanks

See bug #125752 . I will see if updating fontforge will help resolve the issue.

 ------- Comment #3 From Neil Skrypuch  2006-04-07 07:44 PST  [reply] -------

This newer version of fontforge should be in portage, as newer versions of Wine
depend on it (more specifically, fontforge-20050624 generates wrong fonts for a
number of cases in the Wine build, this is fixed in newer versions of
fontforge).

Do a 'wine notepad' and type something in Notepad to see the issue. Browsing
through the fonts list in Notepad also reveals a few other broken fonts.

Yes. wine > 0.9.9 requires a new version of fontforge which is not in portage.
I installed and tested fontforge 20060114 and wine compiles and works fine and
the fonts are usable. This is not caught in wine's configure.ac since it just
looks for the fontforge executable, not a particular version of fontforge. This
has been reported upstream as well. The submitter of this bug should add bug
#125752 as a depends for this bug since it is a blocker.

*** Bug 129313 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

partly upstream, partly our fault

newer wine versions force a newer fontforge version so that the generated fonts
arent broken
