winetricks fontsmooth-rgb doesn't on biarch install

[artik]

Hi, after Downling, patching and compiling wine following the biarch method http://wiki.winehq.org/BuildingBiarchWineOnUbuntu, my photoshop is perfectly patched and running with a wine prefix 32

Code: Select all

WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=~/.wine winecfg

But when I install winetricks, and do

Code: Select all

winetricks fontsmooth-rgb

it doesn't work, all my fonts aren't anti-aliazed :



here is my log :

Code: Select all

winetricks fontsmooth-rgb
Executing w_do_call fontsmooth=rgb
Executing load_fontsmooth rgb
Setting font smoothing to rgb
Executing winetricks_early_wine regedit C:\windows\Temp\_fontsmooth=rgb\fontsmooth.reg

Any help please ?

It is best to specify the same wineprefix settings when calling winetricks:

Code: Select all

$ WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=~/.wine winetricks fontsmooth-rgb

If you don't winetricks will use the default values, which may or may not work.

Hi Oliver. Unfortunatly, the result is the same. I deleted my .wine folder, then I create a 32bits prefix :

Code: Select all

WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=~/.wine winecfg

Specified the prefix for winetricks :

Code: Select all

WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=~/.wine winetricks fontsmooth-rgb
Executing w_do_call fontsmooth=rgb
Executing load_fontsmooth rgb
Setting font smoothing to rgb
Executing winetricks_early_wine regedit C:\windows\Temp\_fontsmooth=rgb\fontsmooth.reg

But impossible to get the font smoothed (actually on the 1.7.40). I did once on another computer (32 install) that I reinstalled in the meanwhile. Strange things I can't get the font smoothed on this computer too now. What I did wrong ?

I also noticed something strange. The font smooth seems to work, but not on the main photoshop windows, only the panels.

Before font smooth:



After font smooth:



So it works. But Photoshop windows:



Menus are, but not photoshop.
Shall I declare it as bug ?

Here are my findings on the subject:

In newer version of winetricks the command to use is

Code: Select all

winetricks settings fontsmooth=rgb

Doesn't work for me on x86_64.

Somehow, this smoothing option does not seem to work with DPIs less than 120 I know this thread is old, but would anyone know why?

Smoothing for windows fonts in wine works only for fonts larger than ~ 14 pt, since wine uses another rendering technique for small windows fonts. Thus, you can see font smoothing in wine only on larger windows fonts or on custom fonts.

Hope this helps.

Thanks Olivier. Unfortunatly, I read many things and nothing did the job. I report it as a bug.
