[Bug 20456] New: FEAR's installer will not let me enter the serial number
http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=20456 Summary: FEAR's installer will not let me enter the serial number Product: Wine Version: 1.1.32 Platform: PC OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs(a)winehq.org ReportedBy: wylda(a)volny.cz Hi, F.E.A.R. installer requires entering serial number. It has several fields for entering 4 characters (clasic 1234-5678-9abc-def0-1234). I can enter: * 4 "narrow" chars like 1111, iiii, etc. or * only 3 "fat" chars like AAA, CCC, etc. or * only 2 "extra fat" like WW There are other pepole affected in AppDB: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=5159&iTestingId... http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=5159&iTestingId... Based on other confirmations in AppDB consider UNCONFIRMED->NEW. Tested wine versions: 0.9.50, 0.9.60, 1.0.1, 1.1.7, 1.1.10, 1.1.13, 1.1.22, 1.1.29, 1.1.31, 1.1.32 ...so it probably never worked correctly. This is show stopper.

Thank you for advice Austin. So i did "winetricks comctl32" and double checked, that winecfg contains native override for comctl32 (native, builtin). Unfortunately that did not help. Some character are still too wide or fields for entering them is not wide enough. Is there any option to choose different font or smaller font? For better imagination i attached picture. Only other character (sign) which fit the field with WW is dot. -- 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.

Not needed / not tested.
'winetricks corefonts' should give you some other fonts to try.
This did the job! You are a genius Austin :) Nothing else needed, than running: $ winetricks corefonts $ wine setup So it works with current git (wine-1.1.32-55-gd1472e2), but it is only work around and as such, this bug report should stay open. I do not know - you decide. I think closing would mean, that link between AppDB and this bug report would disappear and other people could suffer from this flaw.

A solution would be something like Wine including applicable fonts or temporarily reducing dpi during an install *without* user intervention. Also, setting dpi in winecfg seems unsuitable since the minimum it will allow is '96'. Until that changes, one will have to open regedit and search for "logpixels". A side effect is that dpi is changed for ALL Wine windows, making them harder to read.

So I feel this could be a very simple solution, and fixed in the near future. It is simply an issue of specifying a 'fixed-width' font. And having it hard coded into vanilla Wine (for now). Where does Wine get it's fonts from? And does it (or can it) draw from the host system automatically?

For which Courier is default. However I figured out which one it *IS*: Window Text. Which one cannot currently change font from winecfg, or registry AFAIK.

I'm on wine 2.6 On wine-dev this seems fixed at least on Age of empire 3. I can correctly insert the serial code etcetc. (Note the last time I tryed to install AoE3 was with wine 2.1, so I don't know if the fix shipped with 2.6 or some prevoius version, however it the first release that has some serious patch in font related parts (Better font transformations in DirectWrite on the main changelog)). However when I use wine-staging 2.6 I'm still getting the bug, has if no font-related patch is applied. It's possible that some wine-staging patch override the patch/patches that fix this bug? Or I'm missing something? This is with a clean (+ MFC42.dll) environment. No winetricks corefont.

Note that it's not as simple as copying the distribution's Liberation fonts into place.

... This bug is not a problem of the "Liberation fonts", but a problem caused by trying to use "Liberation Sans" in place of "Courier New" when the correct substitution is "Liberation Mono".
Liberation Mono _is_ being used for Courier New, the current replacements are ( https://github.com/wine-staging/wine-staging/tree/master/patches/fonts-Missi... ): Arial -> Liberation Sans Times New Roman -> Liberation Serif Courier New -> Liberation Mono Microsoft YaHei -> WenQuanYi Micro Hei

^^ This. So, we either have to build the font ahead of time (the way we do it now) or we have to deploy a program to the end-user to rebuild the font with the new name (really tricky). -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply.

I suppose I should thank you for both of your explanations out of courtesy, even though it's not necessary at all. Let me make my request more clear: try font-to-font substitution (Replacements, FontLink -- there's no shortage of such systems in Wine) first, something along the lines of: REGEDIT4 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\Fonts\Replacements] "Courier New"="Liberation Mono" If it works, we can talk about how to best deploy it and see if it's too much work for ditching some megabytes of baggage. -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply.

Unfortunately, it does not work in several cases we have encountered. Here's an example from when we first encountered some of these issues: https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=32323#c3 There are a bunch of programs (a lot of them related to .NET) that don't use the proper font system and actually read the fonts from c:\windows\fonts and decode the name from what is stored in the font. In order to appease these programs we need to provide a proper font with the "correct" name in the font data. We could conceivably create this "on the fly", but that's not particularly easy since we would need to create some mechanism to have a placeholder file and copy the font data and modify the name when it's accessed. We're open to clever ideas though, it would be really nice to fix this a better way. -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply.

At the moment you only have to do that if you're going to rebuild the fonts, which is true of both wine and wine-staging. If we were to build a tool that just takes a system font and "renames" it then that tool might be able to be a lot simpler, but wine in general will still need fontforge to build some of the other fonts we use (not all of wine's fonts are direct replacements with no changes). It's also possible that we could use the system-wide fontforge if someone was willing to upstream the patches we have, there's a number of fontforge behaviors that result in large diffs (for tiny changes) and our patches disable those features (timestamps, spurious spaces that get added to the metadata, saving the fontforge "state"). I know that someone got some of our changes upstreamed about five years ago, but I don't believe that they finished that effort. If you're willing to look into it then I'm sure there are a few packagers that would be happy to be able to use the system-wide fontforge ;) -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply.

I'm on Debian bookworm, using the distro-provided Wine 8.0~repack-4. I'm trying to install the retail CD Fear 1, ran into the same CD key problem, and tried the registry font size fix. However, this not only decreases the font size, it also decreases the size of the text boxes as well, thus does not fix the problem. In fact, _increasing_ the font size sometimes allows more chars to fit, although the really fat chars still won't all fit. I have also tried changing "FONTS.FON" and "OEMFONT.FON" (in the same registry group as "LogPixels") to "vgafix.fon," to no avail.
