Fonts in Wine are ugly

Post by Sergei »

Windows applications under Wine have ugly fonts. They are sharp without anti-aliasing or hinting.

For example, Tahoma font is anti-aliased only if I set big font size, while small sizes are not processed, and stay sharp as bitmap fonts. And it irritates me a lot.
Meanwhile any other Linux app with Tahoma font is rendered fine in all sizes, small and big.

Here is piece of document rendered with small smoothed font opened in Mousepad

So the question is how can I make wine to apply anti-aliasing for all font sizes.

Thank you.

I install AkelPad, simple notepad-like application, and here is what I see.
Both anti-aliased font for text and sharp font for system windows.

What should I do to enable anti-aliasing for all fonts and sizes?
