Summary: Fonts get corrupted when switching from one X server ot another Product: Wine Version: 1.1.19 Platform: PC OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: enhancement Priority: P2 Component: fonts AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: fdelente@mail.cpod.fr
I play games in wine in a maybe unusual settings, but very convenient in my opinion: I start wine in a second X server so that, in case of a major bug in wine, I can kill it quickly with Ctrl-Alt-Backspace.
I play Warhammer Soulstorm and Neverwinter Nights 2 that way; but when I leave the game running in the 2nd server, and switch back to the 1st one (Ctrl-Alt-F1), then come back to the 2nd one, the fonts sometimes get corrupted: some characters are missing, or are garbled, or are blocky.
IIRC, it happened when I upgraded the X.org server about 1 year ago, but I can't be sure.
