[Bug 34454] New: Do not use builtin TTF fonts when native appropriate fonts are present in the system
http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=34454 Bug #: 34454 Summary: Do not use builtin TTF fonts when native appropriate fonts are present in the system Product: Wine Version: 1.7.1 Platform: x86 OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: fonts AssignedTo: wine-bugs(a)winehq.org ReportedBy: t.artem(a)mailcity.com Classification: Unclassified This is a continuation of bug 34446. I'd like to propose that Wine should never try to load or use builtin fonts (which don't exactly look nice under certain fontconfig settings, like full hinting) when native appropriate fonts are present in the system.

Built-in fonts have lower font version than native ones, so if native font exists it gets used instead of a built-in one. Problem in the bug 34446 is completely unrelated. Moreover, Tahoma has never been a part of the original Microsoft web fonts pack, so in order to use it one needs a Windows license. -- 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.

I have a Windows license and I own this font legally. You sound like people who have this font installed should experience a bad font rendering only because others don't have a Microsoft version. -- 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.

Closing.
Sorry, why is this bug being closed? It hasn't been solved at all. And it's perfectly valid. -- 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.

The way I see this issue - Wine's implementation is _wildly_ incorrect. My Tahoma fonts (I have two of them) have a lot more glyphs than Wine's Tahoma, they have two slopes, they have two weights - and you're saying that choosing an incomplete builtin font over a system installed font which has a lot more features is right? I will CC Alexandre Julliard. -- 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.

I already explained why built-in Tahoma gets selected instead of a native one for Russian locale, and that's the subject of the bug 34446.

I've never said that. -- 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 this still an issue in current (1.7.37 or newer) wine? If so, please attach the terminal output in 1.7.37 (see http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#get_log). -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply.
