Why WINE renders the text in winecfg and notepad differently?
In the attached picture, you can see, how the UI text differs for the simultaneously running WINE applications - notepad and winecfg. They both are running in the same WINEPREFIX and I expected to have the same appearance. Why this happens and how I can make them to look the same?

I just noticed that my email client assigns to all attachments "application/octet-stream" mime type. So, reattached the image with the proper type "image/png". -- http://fresh.flatassembler.net http://asm32.info John Found <johnfound(a)asm32.info>
I am probably great programmer, because recently (on several forums and mailing lists) no one can (want?) answer my ultra-advanced questions. :D ;) Cheers. On Tue, 12 May 2015 00:16:09 +0300 John Found <johnfound(a)asm32.info> wrote:

I can't reproduce the problem. In fact, I'm not even sure that there is a problem. You didn't say what version of Wine you are using, or what Linux distribution, or what settings, or even what exactly looks wrong to you. If you can narrow down the circumstances that cause the problem (and better yet, find something wrong in the Wine source code) then other developers will be more willing to work with you. -Alex

It is a problem, but the question is "Is it a bug, or some misconfiguration?".

Wine 1.7.38 Linux Mint 17.1 All fonts in "Winecfg|Desktop Integration" are set to "Calibri 10"; There is no installed theme. All other settings are the default one. I am running the programs with: wine notepad.exe wine winecfg.exe
or even what exactly looks wrong to you.
On the attached image, you can see that the UI text in notepad and winecfg are rendered different - the one from the winecfg is without antialiasing and looks very thin. The text in notepad is rendered with grayscale smoothing and looks darker. Zoom the image in some graphic editor in order to see the difference better. The problem persists for any other Windows application compared to winecfg.exe I only used notepad.exe as an easy example. -- http://fresh.flatassembler.net http://asm32.info John Found <johnfound(a)asm32.info>
