[Bug 42238] New: Various UltraISO UI elements do not have smooth fonts
https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=42238 Bug ID: 42238 Summary: Various UltraISO UI elements do not have smooth fonts Product: Wine Version: unspecified Hardware: x86 OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown Assignee: wine-bugs(a)winehq.org Reporter: audvare(a)gmail.com Distribution: --- Created attachment 56897 --> https://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=56897 Screenshot of issue I've been wondering if this is something the UltraISO developers intended, but regardless, I have smooth fonts everywhere using fontconfig *except* in certain UltraISO scenarios. Screenshot attached. Note that the menus correctly render, but the text (which appears to be MS Shell Dlg) does not hint or switch to another font. My fontconfig has: <!-- Wine --> <match target="pattern"> <test compare="eq" name="family"> <string>System</string> </test> <test compare="contains" name="family"> <string>MS Shell Dlg</string> </test> <test compare="contains" name="family"> <string>MS Sans Serif</string> </test> <edit binding="same" mode="assign" name="family"> <string>Segoe UI</string> </edit> </match> -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply.

https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=42238 --- Comment #3 from Andrew Udvare <audvare(a)gmail.com> --- This is almost definitely not a bug. The developers intentionally disabled ClearType on most elements of the app with the SystemParametersInfo() function. -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply.

https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=42238 --- Comment #4 from Andrew Udvare <audvare(a)gmail.com> --- The developers forced MS Sans Serif. They use SystemParametersInfo() to get the metrics on how to draw the font. They use CreateFontIndirect() to get the GDI object structure for more metric data. Weird since it is just plain old MS Sans Serif at 8 point. On a side note, the app is written in Delphi and appears to use the VCL for rendering including text. This seems to mean no ClearType without extra work: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/921249/font-smoothing-in-delphi . So the developers are not doing it. Hacky workaround: unpack binary, hex edit: 4d532053616e732053600 ("MS Sans Serif\0") to 5365676f6520554900000 ("Segoe UI\0\0\0\0\0\0") Still confusing though because in this case, it must be that fontconfig steps in before Wine and smooths out Segoe UI but refuses to present a smooth version of MS Sans Serif (no hints in the font?). -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply.

https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=42238 --- Comment #5 from Andrew Udvare <audvare(a)gmail.com> --- Makes sense now. MS Sans Serif is a bitmap font and will not have hints nor scale well or anything. If an app forces the font, the only solutions are to patch the app or patch Wine. -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply.

GDI font rendering has nothing to do with common controls v6. (In reply to Andrew Udvare from comment #3)
This is almost definitely not a bug. The developers intentionally disabled ClearType on most elements of the app with the SystemParametersInfo() function.
I don't think you can't do that, it's a system-wide switch. (In reply to Andrew Udvare from comment #4)

This still depends on system configuration, font and font size.
Hacky workaround: unpack binary, hex edit:
4d532053616e732053600 ("MS Sans Serif\0")
to
5365676f6520554900000 ("Segoe UI\0\0\0\0\0\0")
Still confusing though because in this case, it must be that fontconfig steps in before Wine and smooths out Segoe UI but refuses to present a smooth version of MS Sans Serif (no hints in the font?).
Wine doesn't provide Segoe UI. Font program is a separate thing from AA rendering. -- 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.
