True Type fonts worked in the past?

[J. Christopher Pereira]

Hi again:

I decided to work on starcraft+wine compatibility (started a SF project
at starcraft-wine.sourceforge.net) and was wondering about the most
popular issue related to the true type fonts on the battle net screens.

I'm not sure, but I remember to have seen the fonts working with a very
old wine version (at the times of RH 6.1).

How was that possible when TT rendering wasn't yet implemented AFAIK ?
fonts aliasing?

Any advice for fixing this issue?
