I'm seemingly unable to get subpixel font smoothing working in any application running under Wine with the exception of winecfg. I've tried all the built-in applications like Wine's regedit as well as programs like foobar2000, Mp3tag and Rufus. For every program except Winecfg, there's a mixture of no font smoothing and grayscale font smoothing.
Fiddling with the registry values that Winetricks uses (FontSmoothing, FontSmoothingType, FontSmoothingOrientation, FontSmoothingGamma) doesn't seem to change anything. Winecfg uses subpixel smoothing even if I set FontSmoothingType to 1, and all other programs use grayscale or no smoothing even when FontSmoothingType is set to 2.
GTK and Qt applications both render with subpixel smoothing.
Any ideas on what I can do to make this work? And why Winecfg should respect the system settings when other applications don't?
