Description Alexey Mishustin 2013-09-29 18:55:55 UTC
After updating wine from 1.4.1 to 1.6 the default font of the wine and most wine programs has changed. The new font has bad quality.

I'm attaching screenshots demonstrating the difference (with another machine, still running wine 1.4.1)

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Launch winecfg

The language is russian.
Comment 5 Alexey Mishustin 2013-09-29 19:19:18 UTC
There are fonts from corefonts package in .wine1/drive_c/windows/Fonts. Are they supported no more in wine 1.6 ?
Comment 6 Alexey Mishustin 2013-09-29 19:24:07 UTC
Both versions of wine has been compiled with 'truetype' flag.
Comment 7 Jeroen Roovers (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2013-09-30 13:50:57 UTC
The difference between them appears to be anti-aliasing in the 1.6 version. Other than that I can't spot what you think is the obvious quality problem.

Are you sure that the font is the same? Me - not.

I have tried to disable anti-alias via fontconfig. Most fonts in X became aliased, but not in wine (screenshot attached).

Anyway, running X without anti-alias couldn't be a solution. Something doesn't work properly in wine, or... where?

I think this is not a problem, and if so, it is not our problem. You can find instructions on configuring fonts via Google. (try per-family antialiasing controls)
