winecfg pixelation on retina?

[Marian_Devers]

wine --version
wine-3.6

Does anyone know how to fix the winecfg retina pixelation? Downgrading to xquartz 2.7.9 did not help.

I am attaching below a screenshot of winecfg. As you can see, the toolbar is rendered correctly, while the text and buttons are pixelated.

You would need to downgrade XQuartz-2.7.7
Due to the version of freetype included after XQuartz-2.7.7 after this causes that issues you are seeing.

Doesn't fix it.

Is it a font issue?

For example, when CCP builds the .wine (3.9 dev) environment, it looks normal. Compare it to the winehq build window.

Then I have to wonder do you have homebrew or macports installed since if one of those installs a newer version of libfreetype.6.dylib it will be used instead of the one included with XQuartz and you will get what you see currently.

The other way to fix it is to copy libfreetype.6.dylib (from XQuartz 2.7.7) into /lib/ /lib64/ inside the wine.app, then wine will use the included version instead of any external one.

Great advice thanks.

Placing the correct libfreetype.6.dylib (original or alias) in /lib64/ allows you to build 64 environments, but placing the same file in /lib/ fails to build the correct wine32 environment.

wine cfg window hangs, regedit window opens but is blank.

Summary: this solves the issue for 64 bit environments, but not for 32

You need to place both the original file and its alias to it
libfreetype.6.dylib
libfreetype.dylib < Alias

I included a zip with none universal libs it includes /lib/ and /lib64/ with symbolic's included.
