[Bug 20054] New: Wine should include the Microsoft Sans Serif font
http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=20054 Summary: Wine should include the Microsoft Sans Serif font Product: Wine Version: unspecified Platform: PC OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: fonts AssignedTo: wine-bugs(a)winehq.org ReportedBy: madewokherd(a)gmail.com The GdipGetGenericFontFamilySansSerif function should return the "Microsoft Sans Serif" font family, but this font does not exist in Wine. Wine should include a truetype font with this name so gdiplus can be fixed. http://source.winehq.org/git/wine.git/?a=blob;f=dlls/gdiplus/tests/font.c;hb... -- 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.

Is there an app that depends on this? Or is it just test? Perhaps returning Tahoma is not that bad for Wine purposes. -- 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.
http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=20054 --- Comment #2 from Vincent Povirk <madewokherd(a)gmail.com> 2009-09-15 04:04:59 --- It's most important that we move away from "MS Sans Serif", which is a bitmap font that cannot be scaled/rotated, and which gdiplus shouldn't be able to use anyway. I don't know of any applications that rely on the font being "Microsoft Sans Serif" specifically, but given that we have a test for it I feel reluctant to change it from one wrong thing to a different (but better) wrong thing. It seems most win9x and NT4 systems do not have gdiplus: http://test.winehq.org/data/tests/gdiplus:font.html A few win98 systems do, and these apparently return the correct font. -- 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.

It doesn't have gdiplus.dll either, but that's not related. -- 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.
http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=20054 --- Comment #4 from Vincent Povirk <madewokherd(a)gmail.com> 2009-09-15 04:56:59 --- Well, for whatever reason GdipGetGenericFontFamilySansSerif on Windows always returns a font family that claims to be Microsoft Sans Serif. Otherwise, we'd be seeing skips or failures in the font test on Windows. While this doesn't prove that the font is really installed, it's the simplest explanation. -- 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.

EVEMON crashes because it fails to load Microsoft Sans Serif. I guess it ought not to crash for such a trivial reason, but it does. Including MS Sans Serif in Wine, would prevent the crash. -- 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.

That game update changed ZusiDisplay to use dotnet core instead of dotnet. It also installed dotnet core into the game's proton prefix on first launch, so I'm probably using dotnet core instead of wine-mono now. Message boxes pop up telling me "Fehler beim Erstellen des Fensters! (Font 'Microsoft Sans Serif' cannot be found.)", and the first sentence translates to "error creating the window". It turns out that the "dotnet -> dotnet core" migration guide [1] by Microsoft mentions that the default font for dotnet core is now "Segoe UI 9 pt" instead of "Microsoft Sans Serif 8 pt". It recommends to manually change the font back to "Microsoft Sans Serif 8 pt" if an application depends on that previous default setting. So I guess more and more legacy applications will explicitly require Microsoft Sans Serif as they are ported over to dotnet core. [1] https://docs.microsoft.com/de-de/dotnet/core/compatibility/fx-core So I feel like having a "Microsoft Sans Serif"-named font with similar metrics included in wine might be a higher priority now. -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply.
