Summary: LogPixels registry value is ignored by some fonts Product: Wine Version: 0.9.3. Platform: Other OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: major Priority: P2 Component: wine-gui AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: jpetso@gmx.at
I've got a 1400x1050 screen which displays the standard fonts far too small.
There is the LogPixels registry setting which is supposed to scale the fonts according to its value. This works fine for some fonts (for example, the regedit "Edit String/DWORD" dialog, or the font selection dialog) but ignores other important ones, namely the menu fonts, the message dialog fonts, and the ones used in the regedit listboxes. (Maybe a few more, can't check with other programs at the moment.) Those fonts can be replaced by modifying values in the FontSubstitutes registry key, but the size stays the same anyways.
The menu fonts can be changed by a workaround entry in win.ini, but the other ones seem fixed. If that font sizes can't be increased, I can't use wine seriously as a Windows replacement - please do something about it! (It's essential to migrate my mom ;-)
