Summary: Tahoma entry in registry, but tahoma related errors re- occur followed by registry entry vanishing Product: Wine Version: 0.9.47. Platform: PC-x86-64 URL: http://www.invelos.com/Downloads.aspx OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: minor Priority: P2 Component: wine-misc AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: Stuart@houseofanime.org
The recent wine release (0.9.47) mentioned a change relating to the Tahoma font - a font which causes issues for one of my applications, DVD Profiler. To se if this resolved the issue, I tried upgrading from wine 0.9.46 to 0.9.47 with a fresh .wine directory to see what happened.
In 0.9.46, the following would be observed behaviour with a typical install: 1) Run winecfg as normal 2) Install gecko using winetricks 3) Run setup.exe for DVD Profiler 4) Go through installation without issues 5) Run DVD Profiler and be inundated with 'invalid floating point' errors. 6) Kill application. 7) Add tahoma.ttf to fonts directory 8) Add tahoma entry to registry under "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/Miscrosoft/WindowsNT/CurrentVersion/Font" 9) Run DVD Profiler, get one 'invalid floating point' error (bug 8460), and then the application runs (mostly) as expected.
In 0.9.47, I confirmed that a) the font directory was empty, and b) the tahoma registry entry as described under step 8 above existed after running winecfg, without me having to enter it. I then ran a similar process to that described above: 1) - 4) as before 5) Unexpectedly got same response
!!! Checking, the registry entry that was confirmed before installing DVD Profiler was gone!
6+) as before.
In summary, the tahoma registry entry appeared at winecfg and then vanished when it was required. Otherwise, performance was as 0.9.46.
