Garbled fonts

Post by jackmcbarn »

When I try to run a certain DirectX app, all of the fonts become garbled. A screenshot is at http://jackmcbarn.no-ip.org/login.png
I've already tried setting HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\X11 Driver\ClientSideWithRender to N, which didn't appear to have any effect at all. Increasing the DPI increased the font size, but they were still garbled.

Have you installed all the fonts for WINE? Using Winetricks, have you installed 'allfonts'?

Is there a reason you're keeping the name of the app a secret?

Check the AppDB and bugzilla for know problems/workarounds.

It's a GunZ client, and I didn't see anything about this problem on the GunZ page.

You were told to check the Applications Database. Yes, there is an
entry for GunZ here:

What graphics card/driver? If it's ATI, it could be this driver bug: http://ati.cchtml.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1876

@James McKenzie: I said I saw the page, just nothing about my problem on it.
@dimesio: I'm not using ATI.
