Summary: Noteworthy Composer's music font not found Product: Wine Version: CVS Platform: PC URL: http://www.ntworthy.com/ OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: wine-gdi AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.com ReportedBy: anjohnson@iee.org
The TrueType music font NWCV15 installed by Noteworthy Software's Composer/Player programs (downloadable from URL given) doesn't work under Wine - with the latest Wine CVS code the program just complains that the font can't be found. The font is evidently SYMBOL_CHARSET, but on Windows the program doesn't have to specify this for it to be correctly found. I can get it to be found in Wine by duplicating the two lines of code in the dlls/gdi/freetype.c routine WineEngCreateFontInstance() that compare each font face name with "Symbol" and set up the search lfCharSet appropriately. The comment immediately preceeding these lines hints that this isn't necessarily done right in Wine, and the NWCV15 font is evidently in the same class as Symbol in that respect.
Once the program can find the font though, it still doesn't work - the symbols from the font are not displayed, just square boxes where they should appear. It's not obvious to me whether these two problems might be related or not.
