winspool.drv: Conformance-Tests
by Detlef Riekenberg 18 Aug '05

18 Aug '05

Hi. I wrote a Commandline-Program for testing the Printing-API and found many misterious behaviour. While rewriting the conformance-tests for winspool.drv, how should we handle this bugs / features ? Example for GetPrinterDriverDirectory (W/A): Win98se and WinME do not check the requested level I marked that as todo("windows"). Is this ok? Another Example for GetPrinterDriverDirectory and Enum*: from MSDN: pcbNeeded [out] - Pointer to a value that specifies the number of bytes copied if the function succeeds, - or the number of bytes required if cbBuf is too small. On w2k, the the returned "number of bytes required" in the ANSI-Version is the same as in the Unicode-Version. For GetPrinterDriverDirectory, the rest from the unicode-version of the result is visible in the second part of the buffer. (I Think, w2k fill the buffer with the unicode-version and convert in-place to ANSI. Should we do the same ?) I marked both Versions as valid. (buffersize == (datasize+datasize) and buffersize == datasize) Is this ok? -- By By ... ... Detlef

Re: Cursor disappears and reappears

I suspect this may not be in Wine at all. There is currently a problem that shows up both in and out of Wine with the cursor vanishing permanently until reboot on some games that block or change the cursor. This appears to be a problem in FC but I have not had time to track it down.

So LPSTORAGE16 would be more fitting I think. Also when not using "SEGPTR" I get conversion warnings and it clarifies a bit what exactly the type of the argument is. I am fine by the patch, but will have to fix it up regarding LPSTORAGE once we get to the point of implementing those funcs. Ciao, Marcus

Re: fontforge 20050729 insists on adding .ttf extension

What seems to have happened was that George Williams gave Rob a workaround to a fontforge regression, that regression has since been fixed and the workaround no longer works. So applying this patch (in affect reversing Rob's) seems like the right thing to do, at the expense of breaking font creation for some versions of fontforger. Ideally we'd detect a broken fontforge, but I don't think it's really worth the effort. Huw.

Cursor Disappears and reappears
by Kevin DeKorte 17 Aug '05

17 Aug '05

Using Wine 20050725 and Lotus Notes 6.51 when I move my mouse to the database tabs or over the replication window the mouse disappears while I move over the tab or replicated databases and then reappears when I leave the list. The databases are highlighted, but having the mouse completely disappear is a little annoying. I don't remember it doing this with 20041202.

by Vijay Kiran Kamuju 17 Aug '05

17 Aug '05

Hi, I was trying to install Altova XMLSpy Enterprise demo version, on linux with wine-20050725 version. It is hanging and it seems that in the begining there are some stream errors, fixeme: AppSearch must be implemented in ACTION_AppsearchComponents for CmpLocator tab (some thing like it). I wanted to test current msxml implementation as it might use msxml3 parser internally (i dunno really). Thanks, Vijay

I have sent about 310 patches since december 2004, mostly for AppDB, some for lostwages and bugzilla and quite a few translating resources files in french and reimplementing the uninstaller, I really don't know if it makes it worth inclusion and won't be angry if I'm not included.

WineHQ: Default font
by Christian Britz 17 Aug '05

17 Aug '05

Hi all, I noticed a little possibility to improve www.winehq.org with very little effort: I am talking about the default font for the website. if you look at http://www.winehq.org/winehq_styles.css you will easily see that the default font is "bitstream vera sans", followed by "verdana" and "arial" if vera is not available. Despite the fact that MS might be considered evil by some kids, Verdana and Arial look _much_ better and professional than Vera. I even removed Vera from my system just tomake the homepage look better and mor profesional. I would suggest that the responsible people switch the default font to Arial, which is also available on most Unix systems. No Offence meant! Regards, Christian
