Invisible fonts - unimplemented SPI_GETFONTSMOOTHINGTYPE

[Peter Åstrand]

I'm trying to get the application "Nya Multigram" 
(http://www.softogram.se/multigramkunskapsbanken.html) running in Wine. It 
works somewhat, but the initial screen (which should look like 
http://www.softogram.se/grafik/multigramkunskapsbanken/mgkbscreenshot4.jpg) 
doesn't have any text. The buttons are rendered very slowly, and this 
error message appears:

fixme:system:SystemParametersInfoW Unimplemented action: 8202 (SPI_GETFONTSMOOTHINGTYPE)

A screenshot is available at http://www.cendio.com/~peter/multigram.png.

A partial log when running with WINEDEBUG=+font,+nativefont,+wc_font is 
included below. Any ideas on how to solve this?

After some more investigations, it seems like this is a GDI+ problem. I've 
tried a very simple GDI+ demo 
(http://www.codeproject.com/vcpp/gdiplus/gdi__and_mfc.asp), which draws a 
line, ellipse and a rectangle. The, I added this text output, copied 
directly from 
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/gdicpp/GDIP...:

 	FontFamily  fontFamily(L"Times New Roman");
 	Font        font(&fontFamily, 24, FontStyleRegular, UnitPixel);
 	PointF      pointF(30.0f, 10.0f);
 	SolidBrush  solidBrush(Color(255, 0, 0, 255));

 	graphics.DrawString(L"Hello", -1, &font, pointF, &solidBrush);

This works perfectly in Windows, but with Wine, no text appears! See 
screnshot http://www.cendio.se/~peter/tmp/gdiplus-windows.png versus 
http://www.cendio.se/~peter/tmp/gdiplus-wine.png.

It seems very strange to me that such a basic concept like drawing a 
string with GDI+ doesn't work with Wine. Isn't this a common task?

Hmm..

Looks strikingly similar to the label issue with Poser I'm looking at.
http://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-devel/2005-December/043615.html
I haven't had a chance to look at it deeper, but I think the issue lies
somewhere in the CreateDIBSection -> DoCopyDIBSection areas.

Would you be so kind to post the gdi+ sample executable somewhere? I'd
like to compare traces and see if we're hitting on the same issue
here.(Tried compiling myself, but VC6 seems to hate the new platform SDK
;-) )

Cheers

Thanks for noticing this.

Here you go: http://www.cendio.se/~peter/tmp/MFC_GDI_PLUS.exe.

I've also noticied that the result depends on which Windows version Wine 
is emulating:

When using 95 or 98 setting, I get no GDI+ output at all (no lines), and 
the error messages:

err:dc:CreateDCW no device found for L"\\\\.\\DISPLAY1"
fixme:font:WineEngCreateFontInstance just using first face for now

When using 2000 or XP setting, I get the lines, but no text, and the error 
messages:

fixme:win:EnumDisplayDevicesW ((null),0,0x7fc6f65c,0x00000000), stub!
fixme:font:WineEngCreateFontInstance just using first face for now
fixme:dciman:DCICreatePrimary 0x320 0x7f3a11f

This should be fixed in cvs. What Wine version are you using?

The CVS version, as of 2006-01-05. Strange.

Indeed this is fixed in CVS HEAD if you set the windows version to
win2k. I can see the text output on MFC_GDI_PLUS.exe
Tho, my Poser issue is still there. I'm also guessing that Nya Multigram
still is broken... so might have been a different issue.

Strange, I wonder what's different with my environment:

* Which version of gdiplus.dll are you using? I'm using 5.1.3097.0.

* Which OS are you running? I've tested Wine on both Fedora Core 4 and 
RedHat 9.

* Do you get this error message as well?:

fixme:win:EnumDisplayDevicesW ((null),0,0x4075f65c,0x00000000), stub!
fixme:dciman:DCICreatePrimary 0x320 0x418511fc

I do. And I also get the same errors as yours when I use win98.
I guess it's the gdiplus version.... I got mine off of dll-files.

I've tried this version as well now, no difference.

Apparently not. Perhaps it depends on which fonts you have available.

I pulled a CVS update about 8 hours ago, I can not see the text output
in the demo program.

The one from dll-files, like Vik.  5.1.3102.1360

Debian Etch

With W2K the colored lines are drawn, no text:
wino(a)debian:~$ wine MFC_GDI_PLUS.exe
fixme:win:EnumDisplayDevicesW ((null),0,0x7fc4f65c,0x00000000), stub!
fixme:dciman:DCICreatePrimary 0x320 0x7e6211fc

If I set to Windows98, there are no colored lines, either:
wino(a)debian:~$ wine MFC_GDI_PLUS.exe
err:dc:CreateDCW no device found for L"\\\\.\\DISPLAY1"

Thanks for confirming my result. I tried Debian myself yesterday, with the 
same result.

Progress: This is a font issue. If I install 
http://sf.net/projects/corefonts/times32.exe, my test program correctly 
displays the text! The application "Nya Multigram" also works much better; 
most fonts are now visible (but not all). Now I wonder:

1) Isn't it a bug that Wine fails to display the simple GDI+ text without 
MS font? Shouldn't Wine at least print an error or warning? Should I file 
a bug?

2) How can I determine which fonts are "missing" (what the application 
requires)? I've tried debugging with WINEDEBUG=+font, but cannot find 
anything obvious.
