garbled font

Post by szczerb »

I have and application that actually suprised me with how well it works in wine. There are no runtime problems and even no console output (absolutely none).

The one problem is that one of the used fonts (the one that shows register values....ugh) is a bit garbled and I really need to be able to read this one easily.

Here is a screenshot:

I already tried installing the liberation fonts with winetricks. I have wine 1.1.14 running on an amd64 Gentoo. I just noticed and will try 1.1.15 later today, but I doubt it will help...seems more like just a font issue.

1- Do you use nvidia? Which drivers if so?

2- Did you try toggling on or off subpixel hinting? Have a look: http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16729

1. No, I have an intel 965GM and just can't wait for the new xorg-server (1.6) to start really working...
2. Thank you ;] It solved all unreadable registries so it's totally usable now, but there still is a "cosmetic" problem. Take a look at this:

BTW Do you know why the [ url ] tags in my posts don't work? It's weird.

Do you have a screenshot of the same application under windows? You may want to check bugzilla see if there's a report about that - if not, do file one.

You need symbol.ttf for that missing character. 1.1.16 will include the font.
