Summary: Win32 console doesnt display graphic chars properly Product: Wine Version: 1.1.9 Platform: PC OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: info@gknw.de
Win32 console apps dont display graphic chars properly; here are some screenshots to show what I mean: app on Win32: http://www.gknw.net/test/wine/rdb_grafic_win32.png app on Wine: http://www.gknw.net/test/wine/rdb_grafic_wine.png
Another Win32 console app which shows up same font issue is rconip; for testing self you can download it from here: http://rconip.sourceforge.net/ if you launch it with 'wine rconip.exe' the first screen already shows this same issue ...
I checked also wine registry settings and found there some probably strange things which at least dont comply with Wine docu; f.e.: localhost\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Console\FontSize is set to 0x00f008 although docu at: http://www.winehq.org/docs/winedev-guide/x3500 - Table 8-5. Console registry settings says its default is 0x0c08; also from this docu the FaceName should have no default while my registry has it set to 'Fixedsys'. Manually changing FaceName or FontSize doesnt make any difference, and afer wine or wineconsole has run the original values are automatically restored.
It somehow seems to me that perhaps signed chars (7-bit) are used instead of unsigned chars (8-bit) which kills all graphic chars ...??
