CreateScalableFontResourceA: what does it mean?
by Hiji 24 Mar '06

24 Mar '06

There is this program, Cakewalk Sonar XL 2 (http://appdb.winehq.org/appview.php?versionId=2615) that I always try to run on Wine. The good news is, I can get it running, not smoothly, but it does run. However, it tries to utilize one of its own fonts, and always stubs on CreateScalableFontResourceA. It hits this: fixme:font:CreateScalableFontResourceA (0,"C:\\PROG~FBU\\Cakewalk\\SONA~3TJ\\TTSNOTE.FOR","C:\\PROG~FBU\\Cakewalk\\SONA~3TJ\\TTSNOTE.TTR",(null)): stub Then the app tells me the following in a popup: "Cannot create the Staff view musical symbol font." Anybody know what this means or have any workaround for making CreateScalableFontResourceA work? I've seen this problem since Dec. 2004, but since it hasn't gone away, I thought I'd pipe up and ask about it. Thanks in advance!

Wine on FC5
by Kevin DeKorte 24 Mar '06

24 Mar '06

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I've been able to get Wine working on FC5, both from source and from RPM and neither seems to have the smooth font support. Is there some new option that is needed for FC5 support. I had Notes 6.51 working very nice under FC4, but it has some weird drawing issues in FC5. I'm guessing it has something to do with the new xorg packages, but any ideas would be helpful.

Race condition in keyboard code?
by Peter Åstrand 24 Mar '06

24 Mar '06

Hi, I've been debugging a very strange keyboard problem this afternoon: In some cases the key combination AltGr+2 produces "2" (wrong) rather than "@" (correct), when using a Swedish layout. The problem seems to be a race condition: If a KeyEvent occurs almost directly after the "2" key is pressed, the AltGr state is incorrect. The problem has been verified with this simple test program: /* gcc -Wall xfake.c -o xfake -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lX11 -lXtst */ #include <X11/Xlib.h> #include <X11/extensions/XTest.h> int main( int argc, char* argv[] ) { Display* dpy; dpy = XOpenDisplay( NULL ); XTestFakeKeyEvent(dpy, 0x71, True, CurrentTime); XTestFakeKeyEvent(dpy, 0xb, True, CurrentTime); XSync(dpy, False); //sleep(1); XTestFakeKeyEvent(dpy, 0x71, False, CurrentTime); XTestFakeKeyEvent(dpy, 0xb, False, CurrentTime); XCloseDisplay( dpy ); return 0; } (0x71 is Mode_Switch, 0xb is the "2" key). I'm executing the program while having Wines Notepad active. If the sleep() is commented out, a "2" is inserted into Notepad. If the sleep() is active, "@" is inserted. More evidence: When debugging with WINEDEBUG=keyboard,key, the traces for X11DRV_ToUnicodeEx is printed after the Mode_Switch KeyRelease trace. Now I wonder, is this a problem with: 1) Wine or 2) The Windows API or 3) The way I'm using X11/the keyboard (generating events that quickly). ? I do understand why this happens: X11DRV_ToUnicodeEx uses the global, static variable AltGrMask. Is this a bug?

Re: [opengl] check drawable and context Visual IDs in wglMakeCurrent()

Please don't apply this patch yet. It fixes one case but there is more to be aware of. This BadMatch bug is triggered if an application creates a window (with a default Visual ID) and a custom (non-default) pixel format, the IDs were 0x21 and 0x23 in my case (glxinfo/xdpyinfo report Visual ID in the range from 0x21 to 0x70). But! I've seen that World of Warcraft calls wglMakeCurrent() with a darawable that has Visual ID 0x71 and a context with Visual ID 0x21. Now 0x71 is not defined (according to the glxino output) but it works fine, eg. glXMakeCurrent() doesn't produce the X Error in that case. So I went up the backtrace, into create_glxpixmap(). I let this function fail if it would produce a X Error, eg. if "depth of pixmap does not match the GLX_BUFFER_SIZE value of vis". Then I had to modify wglMakeCurrent() to respect the create_glxpixmap() failure and return FALSE. Works good so far, framerate in WoW went up from ~20 to up to 70 fps, average is somewhere between 40-50 !!! This is incredible. So.. in this attachment you'll find a patch that does what I've just described. I can't test it on anything else than WoW, so if someone would please review it and test with outher opengl/d3d applications it would be great. Also, it would be great if we could put the *Swap*Buffers() into their own log domain, something like 'swapbuffers', because the trace is usually useless, only when you explicitly look whether these functions are called or not, otherwise they only fill the log with garbage. thanks tom

Known issues area on main wiki page
by Tom Spear (Dustin Booker, Dustin Navea) 24 Mar '06

I'm not trying to be a whiner here, but I think enough is enough when it comes to having to close bugs as a duplicate. There has to be some simple solution to cut down on the number of new bugs filed that report that winecfg crashes when clicking on the audio tab. I know that the subject above isn't it, but it is at least a start. I was about to create it myself, but my better judgement said I should ask here first. Can someone please(!) put something on some page that almost everyone sees saying that if you are having a problem with winecfg crashing when clicking on the audio tab to check out bug 4051 first? Please! Thanks Tom
