Table content doesn't fit into window - too large font space

[romensch_2]

Hello Wine Community,

I have a very old 16-bit scientific programm runing in Wine (1.6.2) under Ubuntu 14.04 64-bit.

After activating 16-bit kernel support I could install and run the programm in wine.

Though, there's a problem with the font. The font used is not exactly the same as e.g. in Windows XP 32-bit, so in one settings windows of the programm, I cannot see the full table of data as the space character of the font used in wine is apparently too big. This you can see better in the attached image.

On the left there is wine and I cannot the the whole information, on the right there is how it should look like.

Can you maybe help me, how I could change wine settings that I can see the whole window content also in Wine?

Thank you for your attention.

If you haven't installed the MS core fonts, either through winetricks or systemwide, try that.

Hello dimsesio,

thank you for your reply. I already have the MS core fonts installed (systemwide and additionally tried winetricks). I also tried to activate the font 'tahoma' via winetricks but it didn't help.

Aditionally I tried changing the font size via the registry in wine (font pixel) which reduces the font size in the registry and also in the wine configuration window - but it didn't influence the appearance of the program itself unfortunately.

Maybe someone would have another hint?

Try upgrading Wine to the latest development release.

I have now installed the newest Wine 1.7.28 from the Wine PPA. Unfortunately, nothing did change and I still see the same error.
