Wine Font Rendering

[Roland Kaser]

Hello

Sorry, this is the second post for this reason, but it's important for me to
sort this problem out. Can somebody try to get a answer? 

I noticed a strange behavior of the Font/Vector objects functionality of
Corel Draw on diffrent SuSE 10 Systems. On one system Rotated Text  works
fine (without any failure) on a other system, rotated fonts became
invisible on the screen. At pdf export, the fonts are normally visible. So
it seems to be a graphics subsystem error. No winedebug output at all.

Can somebody tell me which system libraries used for the font rendering
functions? So that I can compare the two systems to find out where the
font-rendering error cames from.

Many thanks

Roland Kaeser

Its using freetype2, libXft and libXrender.

It might also depend on what truetype fonts you have installed.

Are these SUSE Linux 10.0 systems both 32bit systems?

s/libXft/fontconfig/

and yes, if you don't have any ttf fonts installed on one platform it
may be reverting back to XServer font rendering.

Huw.

Yes the programs uses the same true type fonts (the same document) on all
systems (with the exact same true type fonts), and all systems are 32-bit
systems.
