http://bugs.winehq.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1314 ------- Additional Comments From fsteinel(a)flonet.net 2003-22-06 10:10 ------- Bug comments restored from Gmane.org: In wine-20030302 shipped by SuSE, if you have a truetype font directory defined such as the following: [FontDirs] "dir1" = "/home/aknaff/winefonts/core/ttf" then all fonts defined there in will be downloaded into the generated postscript file, even if the printer natively understands them (as defined in the ppd file). I.e. if I have an arial truetype font, this font is downloaded to the printer, even though I have the following in my .ppd file: *Font ArialMT: *Font Arial-BoldMT: *Font Arial-BoldItalicMT: *Font Arial-ItalicMT: and even though I have the relevant .afm files in my [afmdirs]. The only way how I could force wine to use the printer's builtin Arial font was to define a substitution table where I substituted it with itself: [System\\CurrentControlSet\\Control\\Print\\Printers\\file\\PrinterDriverData\\FontSubTable] 1047119381 "Courier New"="Courier New" "Arial"="Arial" "Times New Roman"="Times New Roman" "Webdings"="Webdings" "Tahoma"="Tahoma" ... [Btw, the above FontSubTable worked for Courier New, Arial, Times New Roman, and Tahoma, but still not for Webdings. But that's probably a different problem]. After perusing the source code, I found the following in wine-20030219/dlls/wineps/font.c near the end of function PSDRV_SelectFont : if(physDev->dc->gdiFont && !subst) { if(PSDRV_SelectDownloadFont(physDev)) return 0; /* use gdi font */ } PSDRV_SelectBuiltinFont(physDev, hfont, &lf, FaceName); return (HFONT)1; /* use device font */ I.e. if there is a gdiFont defined for current font (I assume, this means if a display font has been loaded), and if the font is not the result of a substitution, then we download it into the printer. Otherwise we try to use a builtin font. Shouldn't that be the other way round: first try to use a builtin font, and only if that is not possible (because no such font defined in generic.ppd or missing .afm file) download it. ------- Additional Comments From wine <at> alk.org.lu 2003-03-25 14:42 ------- *** This bug has been confirmed by popular vote. *** -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.winehq.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee.
