Bug ID: 54716 Summary: Hard Time (2007): incorrect text rendering caused by font anti-aliasing Product: Wine Version: 4.21 Hardware: x86-64 OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: minor Priority: P2 Component: -unknown Assignee: wine-bugs@winehq.org Reporter: liamstevens2287@gmail.com Distribution: ---
Created attachment 74224 --> https://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=74224 A screenshot of 2007's 'Hard Time' showing incorrect font rendering on the left, with the intended appearance on the right.
Distros tested: Arch Linux, EndeavourOS, SteamOS
Versions tested: Wine 4.21, 7.2, 8.3, 8.4, and all versions of Valve Proton
2007 indie game 'Hard Time' incorrectly displays white outlines around all text, caused by font anti-aliasing being forced. On Windows, the game correctly runs with no AA without tweaking required by the user. Disabling font anti-aliasing at the Xorg level or by using your DE's options works around this, as there is no way to disable font AA in Wine itself (that I can tell).
The game is free, and the official download is located at http://www.mdickie.com/downloads.htm (direct link at http://www.mdickie.com/downloads/new/hardtime_setup.exe)
Attached is an image of two screenshots with font anti-aliasing enabled on the left, and disabled on the right to show the intended appearance.
As this is my first Wine bug, please do tell me if there is any other information which is needed. Many thanks.
