[Bug 12785] New: wine config uses huge fonts ... unable to configure as result
http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12785 Summary: wine config uses huge fonts ... unable to configure as result Product: Wine Version: 0.9.60 Platform: PC-x86-64 OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: major Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs(a)winehq.org ReportedBy: tpapastylianou(a)hotmail.com Created an attachment (id=12458) --> (http://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=12458) A screenshot of the huge wine window and the fonts in notepad alongside my normal desktop items I had the latest version of wine from the ubuntu repository and it worked fine under feisty When I formatted my laptop and installed ubuntu hardy, wine by default starts up with massive fonts. I tried to fiddle with the configuration files, but it doesn't seem to make any difference (and the files get changed back automatically as soon as the configuration app is run). As a result, I can only see the top half of this massive window, even on my maximum resolution (1920x1200), and I cannot configure wine properly. The same fonts are used in notepad. Also, for some reason, when I choose fonts in notepad, the fonts aren't displayed properly ... there's gibberrish instead. I couldn't find anybody else having the same problem on google or winehq, but given that this occurred on a fresh install with default settings, I'm sure others may experience this. I'd be grateful for any help on this. -- 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=12785 --- Comment #3 from tpapastylianou(a)hotmail.com 2008-04-26 07:27:39 --- thanks for the prompt response! tasos(a)tasos-laptop:~$ xdpyinfo | grep "dimensions\|resolution" dimensions: 1920x1200 pixels (473x302 millimeters) resolution: 103x101 dots per inch And yes, the laptop was freshly formatted, so the ~/.wine directory is fresh. I don't remember if it came as standard in the hoary cd, or I installed it through synaptic, but it would have been one or the other only. Btw, I've come accross sites telling me to edit my ~/.wine/config file ... but that file doesn't exist in my case, I just assummed this file belonged to older versions of wine, and now it's replaced by the user.reg one (which is the one I was referring to as attempting to alter). Am I way off? I couldn't find any other obvious config file for wine in the usual places to edit. -- 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.

Where did you see the thing about ~/.wine/config? If that's in our documentation, that should be removed. -- 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.

"LogPixels"=dword:000001e0
0x1e0 == 480, change it to 0x60 (== 96). Wine doesn't use 480 as a default, that's apparently you. -- 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=12785 tpapastylianou(a)hotmail.com changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status|CLOSED |UNCONFIRMED Resolution|INVALID | --- Comment #9 from tpapastylianou(a)hotmail.com 2008-06-30 17:58:46 --- Thank you for your help, which has indeed solved part of the problem. However, this change only affects content in windows (and is essentially the same as turning the Screen Resolution slider down on the wine configuration / Graphics Tab) , but not the actual File menus. Is there a way to change that as well? I've attached another picture to show what I mean by this. As for the bug being closed because it's "my individual settings", I disagree. This happened from a fresh install. There's no reason why the default setting would have been set so high as opposed to 96 dpi. Therefore, I would assume that others will have encountered it on a fresh install too, without necessarily having tampered with the settings after installing. If that results in a non usable wine from a fresh install, in my mind it's a bug that needs to be addressed. I'm not the only one encountering this bug http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=778017 (I note this guy is also on ubuntu) though, yes, I suppose now this section exists, others may find the answer here. But that's hardly a bugfix.

Don't change that yourslef. Remove ~/.wine directory and retest. You won't have this huge fonts anymore. Closing invalid - invalid configuration caused by user. Not a Wine bug but an "operator error" -- 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.
