[Bug 22912] New: Half Life 2 and Portal subtitles unreadable
http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=22912 Summary: Half Life 2 and Portal subtitles unreadable Product: Wine Version: 1.1.44 Platform: x86 OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs(a)winehq.org ReportedBy: c_winehq(a)selador.com.au After installing Steam in a new profile and then using it to download and install Portal, the game runs perfectly except for unreadable dialog captions. (see attachment Portal-glitch02.png) The screenshot illustrates how the sound effects captions in white are fine, only the dialog captions in red with italics are affected. I've tried reducing all graphics options and resolutions, to no avail. It looks like something specific to font rendering - the bounding box for the characters is not taking into account their italicization, so the rightmost pixels are being truncated. The exact same problem was described more than 2 years ago against Half Life 2 (which uses the same core engine) here: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=2890 (post titled 'Font rendering oddness' by John Flatness on Thursday November 1st 2007) It's also been reported downstream in the Crossover bugtracker and they've confirmed the bug but have been unable to take it any further for nearly a year: www.codeweavers.com/support/tickets/browse/?ticket_id=742458; -- 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.

I had a suspicion that it might be somehow related with the CS:Source fonts rendering crash that was discussed here: http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7698#c92 Most interesting comment is #101 from Stefan Dösinger about the way the game seems to be rendering the text and possible differences between FreeType and MS Windows font rendering subsystems. The crash that discussion was about had been fixed but the clipping of the italic letters might be very similar in it's cause. Unfortunately I can barely see how to check if my proposal makes sense. -- 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.
http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=22912 --- Comment #12 from Alexey Loukianov <mooroon2(a)mail.ru> 2010-06-22 03:12:01 --- I had successfully tracked this bug down a bit. Looks like this bug is fonts-related and somehow complicated. In case you've got no "Tahoma.ttf" available either fontconfig-wide, Xfs/Xorg-wide and Wine-wide (i.e. inside WINEPREFIX and /usr/share/wine/fonts), and you had provided a reasonable substitute to it using Wine's registry (for example "HKCU\Software\Wine\Fonts\Replacements\Tahoma" = "Liberation Sans") then the rendered font still would be non-ideal, but at least italic subtitles would not be "clipped". I would attach example screenshot I had taken couple minutes ago with wine-1.2-rc4 shortly afterwards. Removing wine's font replacement and using wine's version of "Tahoma" (i.e. "tahoma.ttf" and "tahomabd.ttf" from "/usr/share/wine/fonts") leads to a problems with font rendering in menus like ones that were attached to this bug in comment #6. Also all subtitles with italicized got clipped on the right side of each letter. Having original MS version of Tahoma installed either system wide or inside related WINEPREFIX seems to "almost fix" font renderings in menus (there still are some rendering glitches that might be considered bugs), and clipped italic subtitles also present. No matter which version of "Tahoma" is used adding wine font replacement like "HKCU\Software\Wine\Fonts\Replacements\Tahoma" = "Liberation Sans" fixes the displaying of italic subtitles (as shown at attached screenshot). Still the font seems to be cripped (what had happend to the font smoothing?) and I doubt if it is rendered with the correct color. Inspecting the contents of the "HKCU\Software\Wine\Fonts\External Fonts" registry key shows that the original Tahoma font haven't got pre-cooked TTF files for both "Italic" and "Bold Italic" (tahomai.ttf and tahomabi.ttf) and it looks like this is the key point that triggers this bug. Having replacement font defined for Tahoma makes wine use tahoma.ttf/tahomabd.ttf for Regular/Bold Tahoma, while using LiberationSans-BoldItalic.ttf/LiberationSans-Italic.ttf replacements for "Bold Italic"/"Italic" Tahoma. -- 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.

I started with a clean Ubuntu Maverick install, proprietary NVIDIA drivers, installed Wine 1.3.7 from the "Ubuntu Wine Team" PPA, addons such as the MS TT corefonts are also installed (can use Comic Sans etc in OO), installed Steam client, installed Portal through Steam. Now the red dialog fonts are even more unreadable than before. Even the white fonts have picked up some odd artifacting now, and sometimes there are entire lines of random unicode characters. -- 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 is still here and unfortunately things got worse: italic subtitles fonts now look even worse than before. I suspect that this might be somehow related to the "Infinality" freetype patches I use here and/or with Wine/Xft/FreeType fonts AA algorithms being used.
