Hi... I'm running Debian 5 (Lenny) and using wine packages from http://www.lamaresh.net/apt lenny main, which contains wine version 1.1.12.
I've installed MS Office 2003 without problems, but when I start up word the fonts are choppy/blocky/what-have-you, but certainly not being AA.
I came across a thread on this forum that suggested adding a file to the registry. I can do that on windows, but don't know how to do it on wine, so I just opened up regedit and added the appropiate values in the right places:
"FontSmoothing"="2", "FontSmoothingOrientation"="dword:000" , etc.
Still no joy. I then reconfigured my fonts using dpkg-reconfigure fontconfig-config in order to make sure that autohinting wasn't being used (on native), and bmp fonts were disabled. Upon restarting 'x', still no AA joy.
I would appreciate some help getting this to work, as the fonts are the primary reason I don't use Word on a regular basis.

Same way as on windows.oOarthurOo wrote:I came across a thread on this forum that suggested adding a file to the registry. I can do that on windows, but don't know how to do it on wine
Then your FreeType lib has fonts subpixel rendering disabled.oOarthurOo wrote:Still no joy.

It is enabled. Debian, unlike many other distros, enabled the bytecode interpreter by default. No recompiling to enable is necessary.
Also, I've applied the registry changes using the attached file and installed all fonts using winetricks. Still no AA joy.
EDIT: IN word, fonts are being AA just fine. It is only the word interface, and the winecfg interface that are not. How do I change the default font used in these areas to one that is AA, like verdana...
EDIT 2: Just an update. I installed a theme, which allowed me to change some of the meny fonts and such. And when I do that, changing menu font to Verdana 10, for example, it turns out they are not being AA. However, I remain convinced that fonts in the word document itself are being AA. Very confusing and strange.
