MS Office Word - small fonts are aliased

Post by marco.case »

Hi,
I installed MS Word 2007 on Debian Lenny using the latest Wine 1.3.20 - everything seems running ok. The only thing that I don't like are the fonts.
I enabled with winetricks the font smoothing, but....
Some of them (Times New Roman, Calibri, expecially) still look aliased at given dimensions (12pt and below): increasing their size solves the problem and they become anti-aliased, but this is not practical as they are too big to be used in standard documents.
I copied the whole font folder of my windows installation into .wine/drive_c/windows/Fonts... but no luck.
It seems that font smoothing or antialiasing is disabled when the fonts are small... this however happens only to some fonts, while others render correctly even ad small sizes.

Any clue?

An addition: the problem regards the text zone and the dropdown character selection box... not Word User Interface itself, which shows antialiased fonts.
I found that my issue is identical to this one posted in the Wine Bugtracking Database:

I have the same problem using wine 1.3.26 on kubunty natty (32-bit) using an onboard Intel grafics card.
