Font antialiasing detection.

Post by b2402401 »

Older versions of Wine used a registry entry to determine, whether fonts should be antialiased or not. Running an app with Wine 1.4 does the job perfectly.
However, Wine 1.6.2 seems to deal with this differently. By default I have fonts antialiased in two desktop environments (LXDE and XFCE). Now, in XFCE the default setting is detected properly, whenever I create a new WINEPREFIX, all fonts are antialiased. However, I cannot force antialiasing in LXDE. It seems that these environments store antialiasing settings differently. The question is, how exactly Wine 1.6.2 (or newer) detects, whether antialiasing should be applied or not ?

I wonder if this has something to do with the use of a compositor? Nowadays this is done using the RENDER extension or by the client.
