Wine 1.8.6 Font issue on Mac
Wine 1.8.6 Font issue on Mac
Hi, I use Homebrew to install wine to run .exe file on Mac. I just upgraded to wine-1.8.6 using 'brew upgrade wine". After the upgrade, the font becomes difficult to read because it is not smooth as in version 1.8.5.
I uploaded the screenshot below to show how different between version 1.8.6 and 1.8.5
It happens on both Sierra and El Capitan. Now I switched back to use version 1.8.5 using "brew switch wine 1.8.5"
Appreciate if anyone here know how to solve this issue.

Thank you, this fix works also for 2.0rc4.

I have the same issue, running the official Wine 2.0-rc6 package on macOS Sierra (10.12.2) with XQuartz 2.7.11, clean Wine prefix, 1680 x 1050 screen resolution. To me it seems like hinting does not work for TrueType fonts.
I've tried out all the fontsmooth settings and while they do affect anti-aliasing for larger font sizes (see screenshots below), they have no effect on the rendering of the default size UI text. (I don't expect or need it to be anti-aliased anyway, but the rendering is clearly incorrect.)
Another user seems to suffer from this issue as well (viewtopic.php?f=9&t=28345).

What version of Freetype? If it's 2.7, it's probably https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=41639.Hans_N wrote:I have the same issue, running the official Wine 2.0-rc6 package on macOS Sierra (10.12.2) with XQuartz 2.7.11, clean Wine prefix, 1680 x 1050 screen resolution.

Re: Wine 1.8.6 Font issue on Mac
The one bundled with XQuartz 2.7.11 which seems to be 2.7.0. You're right, downgrading to XQuartz 2.7.9 solved the issue. I don't know how could I have missed that bug report.

I expect a lot of users to be affected by this sooner or later. Maybe it could merit an entry on the Known Issues and/or MacOSX FAQ wiki pages?
Re: Wine 1.8.6 Font issue on Mac
The same here. Downgrading to XQuartz 2.7.9 helped.
