[Bug 1151] New: - Fixed width font fields in Windows are variable width in WINE

http://bugs.winehq.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1151

           Summary: Fixed width font fields in Windows are variable width in
                    WINE
           Product: Wine
           Version: CVS
          Platform: PC
               URL: http://notetab.com/
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: wine-gui
        AssignedTo: wine-bugs(a)winehq.com
        ReportedBy: kirby(a)earthlink.net


Fixed width font fields in Windows are variable width in WINE.  You can verify 
this by opening up NOTEPAD.EXE in Wine.  Instead of the fixed  
width (teletype/courier) font for displaying characters in the text field,  
Wine supplies a variable width solution.  This is only a minor problem when  
using NOTEPAD.EXE.  But it is a major problem when using software that assumes  
a fixed width font.  This pertains specifically to my favorite text editor,  
NoteTab Pro.  It runs very well with WINE except that it renders the text (and  
the blinking cursor) incorrectly because it expects a fixed width text field  
but Wine supplies a variable width font.  I would love to be able to use  
NoteTab Pro under Linux, but it is not very enjoyable unless this kink is  
worked out.
