Font issue

Post by janz »

Hello,

I am completely new to Wine and macOS. Just installed Wine using .pkg installer, run it, entered winecfg, and the fonts look distorted, see the attached screenshot.

Is this the default look? If so, is the winetricks anti-aliasing feature the only way how to enhance it?

Thanks!

As pointed out by a helpful moderator in a neighbouring thread (viewtopic.php?p=109012#p109012), it seems to be an issue with FreeType 2.7.0 (https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=41639) that's part of XQuartz 2.7.10 and 2.7.11. Try downgrading your XQuartz to version 2.7.9 (https://www.xquartz.org/releases/XQuartz-2.7.9.html).
