Summary: Wine does not pick up the correct font Product: Wine Version: 0.9.58. Platform: Other OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: critical Priority: P2 Component: fonts AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: renu.rajput@gmail.com CC: dank@kegel.com
Created an attachment (id=12381) --> (http://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=12381) Screenshot showing the font clipping due to wrong font selection
My application is coded in C++/VC++, is compiled on Windows, and there the controls are sized to show correctly with the selected font at design time. The font being used for the dialogs is MS Sans Serif (font size 8). When the application is run under Wine, the forms/dialogs are created using some alternate font which results in text labels being clipped (as in attached screenshot). I am not sure but this could be because the windows font is not available, or some other .ttf fonts are present. As a workaround to the clipping problem I tried installing comic.ttf, but if more than one ttf file is present, Wine seems to be picking the font in some random order.
