           Summary: LogPixels registry value is ignored by some fonts
           Product: Wine
           Version: 0.9.3.
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: major
          Priority: P2
         Component: wine-gui
        AssignedTo: wine-bugs(a)winehq.org
        ReportedBy: jpetso(a)gmx.at


I've got a 1400x1050 screen which displays the standard fonts far too small.     
     
There is the LogPixels registry setting which is supposed to scale the fonts    
according to its value. This works fine for some fonts (for example, the    
regedit "Edit String/DWORD" dialog, or the font selection dialog) but ignores   
other important ones, namely the menu fonts, the message dialog fonts, and the   
ones used in the regedit listboxes. (Maybe a few more, can't check with other   
programs at the moment.) Those fonts can be replaced by modifying values in   
the FontSubstitutes registry key, but the size stays the same anyways.   
  
The menu fonts can be changed by a workaround entry in win.ini, but the other  
ones seem fixed. If that font sizes can't be increased, I can't use wine 
seriously as a Windows replacement - please do something about it! (It's 
essential to migrate my mom ;-)
