Subpixel by default?

Hi. I know that subpixel rendering is supported in wine. However, it is not turned on on default setting.
You have to add this to registry:

REGEDIT4

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop]
"FontSmoothing"="2"
"FontSmoothingType"=dword:00000002
"FontSmoothingGamma"=dword:00000578
"FontSmoothingOrientation"=dword:00000001

Can this be added by default in wine, so users don't have to add it manualy?

Thanks

We have had a discussion about this. Basically the conclusion is that we want to inherit this setting from the desktop environment, so when you disable subpixel rendering in kde/gnome that you won't have it in Wine and the way around.

FWIW, you can change it with winetricks.
