[Bug 30652] New: Wrong TextOut font substitution under en_US locale
by wine-bugs＠winehq.org Sept. 1, 2026

Sept. 1, 2026

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=30652 Bug #: 30652 Summary: Wrong TextOut font substitution under en_US locale Product: Wine Version: 1.5.4 Platform: x86 OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: gdi32 AssignedTo: wine-bugs(a)winehq.org ReportedBy: hqm03ster(a)gmail.com Classification: Unclassified Created attachment 40125 --> http://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=40125 The screenshots, test code, and test font The test program "tunihan.c" behaves differently on Windows and Wine (under linux). When a Unicode string containing CJK characters is TextOut-ed using a custom font, Wine font substitution isn't working properly like Windows does. To reproduce: 1. Install the font "nkf11_magicum_texturae.ttf". The font can be downloaded for free at: http://hwm3.gyao.ne.jp/shiroi-niwatori/nkf11_magicum_texturae.zip Windows standard CJK fonts NSimSun, PMingLiu, MS UI Gothic, Tahoma are also required to completely reproduce the attached screenshots. 2. Compile attached tunihan.c using MinGW on Windows with command line: gcc -otunihan.exe tunihan.c -lgdi32 3. Run the generated tunihan.exe under Windows, with global non-Unicode program locale set to English (US). Attached screenshot "enUS-windows.png" should be reproduced. 4. Copy/link all Windows fonts into Wine. 5. Run the generated tunihan.exe under Wine using command line: LANG=en_US.utf8 wine tunihan.exe Attacehed screenshot "enUS-linux.png" should be reproduced. Test environment: Windows: A Chinese Edition of Windows 7 with global non-Unicode program locale set to English (US). Wine: Wine 1.5.4 on Arch Linux 3.3.5, with all windows fonts symlinked into "C:\windows\Fonts" in Wine. Notes: A. The attached font, "nkf11_magicum_texturae.ttf", is an incomplete fictional glyph set for ASCII characters. It is chosen as a test font because it is missing glyphs for a number of ASCII symbols (e.g. '[', ']'), is clearly distinguishable from any potential substitution font, and is clearly not a Windows standard font. B. This behavior can't be reproduced using AppLocale. The Windows machine must have its global non-Unicode program locale set to English (US). C. tunihan.c writes 7 lines of texts to a Window: Line 1: A line of ASCII/CJK characters in a Simplified Chinese font Line 2: A line of ASCII/CJK characters in a Traditional Chinese font Line 3: A line of ASCII/CJK characters in a Japanese font Line 4: A line of ASCII/CJK characters in the test font Line 5: A line of ASCII characters in the test font, using TextOutW Line 6: A line of ASCII characters in the test font, using TextOutA Line 7: A line of ASCII/CJK characters in Tahoma In line 4, Windows is providing font substitution for the test font through a Japanese substitution font (deduced from unified Han character shape), thus displaying all ASCII/CJK characters correctly, despite that there isn't such a rule defined in the registry. Wine failed to do the same. On the other hand, Windows doesn't provide the same font substitution if a completely-ASCII string is TextOut-ed. The CJK characters are chosen to include both unified Han characters with a different shape in each font and non-unified characters for each individual font. Implications: 1. This bug may be related to a few weird CJK script rendering problems. 2. This bug may be related to a few western font rendering problems when CJK fonts are installed. 3. I'm not sure if the issue is even CJK related. Windows could be using similar font substitution for other scripts like Hebrew. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.winehq.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.

This leads to duplicates that could be avoided. See Bug 18601 - a recent regression that is fixed by the next release, but anyone searching for an open bug for Google Sketchup will not see it unless they choose to run an advanced search, which some users clearly don't.

[Bug 16179] New: QIP: flashing chat window disappears if it is not on the current desktop.
by wine-bugs＠winehq.org Aug. 29, 2026

Aug. 29, 2026

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16179 Summary: QIP: flashing chat window disappears if it is not on the current desktop. Product: Wine Version: unspecified Platform: PC-x86-64 URL: http://qip.ru/en/ OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs(a)winehq.org ReportedBy: crossroads0000(a)gmail.com If QIP tries to flash one of its chat windows while the user is on another desktop, the chat window disappears completely until I restart the application. The problem also comes up when you change desktops while the window is flashing. No error logs are attached because there is no output in the console if the bug appears. To reproduce the crash: 1) Download QIP (e.g. at http://qip.ru/download/qip/?http://download.qip.ru/qip8070.exe ). 2) Start QIP. If it fails to start (this is a bug unrelated to this one), try this work-around: go to your QIP-Directory (should be ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/QIP), open current.cfg in your "Skins" directory, and replace "1" with "0". 3) Log on with your ICQ #. If you don't have one, you can easily register one with QIP in less than 30 seconds (you don't have to enter any email address). 4) Open the chat window, make someone send you a chat message, but before you receive it, change the desktop. 5) If you receive a message while you're on another desktop, the chat window will disappear. This only works if the chat window had focus before you changed the desktop. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.winehq.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.

[Bug 21539] New: Using "Bare Streams" console mode with SRCDS does not work.
by wine-bugs＠winehq.org Aug. 29, 2026

Aug. 29, 2026

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=21539 Summary: Using "Bare Streams" console mode with SRCDS does not work. Product: Wine Version: 1.1.37 Platform: x86 URL: http://srcds.com OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: kernel32 AssignedTo: wine-bugs(a)winehq.org ReportedBy: laurikoivunen(a)hotmail.com SRCDS ( Source Dedicated Server ) is designed to run both in GUI and CLI modes. However, when trying to run the server in pure console without X and using "bare streams" as described here ( http://www.winehq.org/docs/wineusr-guide/cui-programs ) I still receive the error: DISPLAY='' WINEDEBUG=+console wine srcds.exe -console ... trace:console:AllocConsole () err:curses:WCCURSES_InitBackend (n)curses was not found. err:wineconsole:WINECON_Init failed to init. This is probably due to srcds running in "hybrid" mode where it is marked as a GUI application, but uses AllocConsole to create a console hence resulting in a new console creation, which currently fails. As a workaround I stubbed AllocConsole and only returned TRUE. This allows the application to start and reach a point where it tries to read the console and where it then fails due to wine not being able to read from the console. Could you add an option for true "bare streams" and so that input would also work? ps: I know that there is a linux version of SRCDS but there are no linux binaries for the server I am trying to run. This bug forces a lot of server hosters run X on their servers to be able to run SRCDS in wine. The server is free to download and use. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.winehq.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.
