[Bug 10583] New: Fonts: Subpixel hinting, No RGB or BGR
http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10583 Summary: Fonts: Subpixel hinting, No RGB or BGR Product: Wine Version: 0.9.49. Platform: PC OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: trivial Priority: P2 Component: wine-x11driver AssignedTo: wine-bugs(a)winehq.org ReportedBy: lorefice2(a)libero.it Created an attachment (id=9386) --> (http://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=9386) Screenshot showing kwrite and Notepad doing font antialiasing. As you can see in the attached file, while wine does a good job in antialiasing and hinting fonts, subpixel rendering, using RGB (but i tested BGR too), is not present. I tried with ClientSideAntialiasWithCore=Y (ClientSideWithRender=N) and ClientSideAntialiasWithRended=Y (ClientSideWithRender=Y), disabled any library override, but it didn't help. --------------------------------------------- Zool ~ # cat ~/.fonts.conf <?xml version="1.0"?> <!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd"> <fontconfig> <match target="font" > <edit mode="assign" name="rgba" > <const>rgb</const> </edit> </match> <match target="font" > <edit mode="assign" name="hinting" > <bool>true</bool> </edit> </match> <match target="font" > <edit mode="assign" name="hintstyle" > <const>hintfull</const> </edit> </match> <match target="font" > <edit mode="assign" name="antialias" > <bool>true</bool> </edit> </match> </fontconfig> --------------------------------------------- Zool ~ # xrdb -q|grep Xft Xft.antialias: 1 Xft.autohint: 0 Xft.dpi: 96.000000 Xft.hinting: 1 Xft.hintstyle: hintfull Xft.rgba: rgb -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.winehq.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.

Is this still an issue in current (1.0-rc4 or newer) wine?
(Also commented this on 10342: http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10342) Yes, subpixel rendering is still not enabled. I looked at the WINE code that manages the font rendering, and grayscale and "no antialiasing" are the only options. Subpixel rendering is listed as a to-do on winehq.org and also here: http://www.winehq.org/site/resources . In a similar but possibly separate issue, I'm not entirely sure, but it appears that WINE does its own "brute force" rendering of fonts, and completely ignores the user's .fonts.conf, or the system's /etc/fonts/conf.d/* files in how it renders the fonts. Perhaps this is somehow required in order to hammer the fonts into the spots where Windows programs expect them... I don't know. At the very least, subpixel rendering would probably solve a lot of users' gripes about WINE and fonts. (Do a search in google on "wine" and "subpixel" or "wine" and "cleartype".) But IMHO, WINE should just be turning all the font rendering over to the user's system (freetype, xft, etc), under the assumption that the user knows how he/she wants the fonts to look, and has already configured their system thusly. If there is no reason for WINE to override what the user has set on their system, then it shouldn't. This prevents WINE from bearing the brunt of any "legal" issues about subpixel rendering.. it is simply using what the user has set up on the system. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.winehq.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.

Now all my fonts look much too thin in Wine, kind of pale and greyish, so much so that I find them really hard to read. They are certainly anti-aliased, but definitely not in the way as either my Gnome Appearence settings (subpixel smoothing, slight hinting, RGB subpixel order) or my ~/.fonts.conf (very similar to Antonio's above, except that my hintstyle is set to hintfull) specify. Removing the old Windows-type registry settings for anti-aliasing from user.reg didn't make a difference. By tweaking those I had managed to make identical fonts at identical sizes look very similar in Wine vs. native Linux applications (although they tended to come out slightly fatter in Wine, just the opposite from what's happening now). Am I doing something wrong? Could this be a bug in how Wine handles fontconfig's hinting settings? Any suggestions are welcome. I'd also be happy to provide more details as well as screenshots if necessary. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.winehq.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.

Ignore that comment. It seems that WINE was compiled without fontconfig support on my system. Recompiling it with fontconfig support fixed it. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.winehq.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.
