Bug ID: 50796 Summary: Replace legacy bitmap fonts (i.e. coure.fon) with scalabe fonts (i.e. Courier New) Product: Wine Version: 6.4 Hardware: x86-64 OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: enhancement Priority: P2 Component: gdi32 Assignee: wine-bugs@winehq.org Reporter: ulrich.gemkow@ikr.uni-stuttgart.de Distribution: ---
wine uses for some legacy font names old bitmapped fonts (i.e. coure.fon for Courier)
Some old postscript centric apps still use the original Postscript font names (i.e. "Courier") in templates and as default font in some scenarios.
These old bitmapped fonts are mostly unusable with current common display resolutions, their resolution is much to small and they render unreadable.
I would suggest to replace the old bitmapped fonts with current scalable fonts (i.e. coure.fon -> New Courier). I understand that I do not fully see the implications but maybe its time to retire these old fonts.
[For me its not a problem, I have since some years patches to replace the old bitmapped fonts].
Thanks for considering.
