https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=50880 Bug ID: 50880 Summary: Japanese fonts and font substitution Product: Wine Version: 6.5 Hardware: x86-64 OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: enhancement Priority: P2 Component: gdi32 Assignee: wine-bugs(a)winehq.org Reporter: galtgendo(a)o2.pl Distribution: --- I'm not sure if this qualifies as a bug or not. I ran across a game that was meant to use a bundled font, but due to a typo in the bug resources was using the fallback font instead. This cased the spacing to be more than a little off. That of itself would be somewhat annoying, but not really a wine bug. Yet, I've managed to find a Windows screenshot. A typo stays a typo, so *a* fallback was used there too. The thing is, going by the shape of one of kana glyphs I'm strongly convinced System font was used as the fallback - more exactly MS UI Gothic. This raises two questions: - perhaps wine should check System font for glyphs before going for fontconfig fallback ? - there's an additional problem with any potential MS UI Gothic substitute; both 'IPAMona UI Gothic' (which is advertised as metric-compatible substitute) and Source Han (which isn't but is one of more popular free cjk fonts) have U+3000 (ideographic space) as a square...in MS UI Gothic, it's a 2:3 rectangle (roughly); given its width that leads to quite significant differences in spacing; besides that Source Han is effectively monospaced for cjk glyphs (despite no Panose marking), while MS UI Gothic isn't (in regard of cjk interpunction mostly); so, is there any free font that actually *is* metric-compatible with MS UI Gothic ? -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply.
