Office 2007: Arial font problem

redvivi · Post by **redvivi** » Wed Apr 14, 2010 2:06 am

Hello,

I installed Office 2007 Professionnal and get an issue (Wine 1.1.42 on Ubuntu Karmic Koala 9.10). I tried to fix it by installing core fonts and so on but nothing changed. Please have a look at this screenshot:

As you see, the arial font looks awful. Did anyone managed to fix it ?

Regards,
RedVivi

Fontsmoothing is not turned on by default. Use winetricks to turn it on. http://wiki.winehq.org/winetricks

Thanks for your reply, which one need I to turn on ?

Code: Select all

droid           Droid fonts (on LCD, looks better with fontsmooth-rgb)
fontsmooth-bgr        Enables subpixel smoothing for BGR LCDs
 fontsmooth-gray       Enables grayscale font smoothing
 fontsmooth-rgb        Enables subpixel smoothing for RGB LCDs
wenquanyi       WenQuanYi CJK font (on LCD looks better with fontsmooth-rgb)

Regards,
RedVivi

Any of the "fontsmooth" ones - just experiment and see which one looks best; when you enable one it overwrites whatever the previous setting was.
