Bug ID: 41639 Summary: Wine with freetype 2.7 causes font rendering issues Product: Wine Version: unspecified Hardware: x86-64 URL: http://imgur.com/a/dLe7G OS: Mac OS X Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: minor Priority: P2 Component: -unknown Assignee: wine-bugs@winehq.org Reporter: sdoom4@gmail.com
With the latest XQuartz (2.7.11) that includes Freetype 2.7, Wine no longer has smoothed text. I switched back to XQuartz 2.7.9 and the issue does not appear.
The reason I bring this up is that the XQuartz team says it's not their problem; it's FreeType's problem. I go look on FreeType and discover that Freetype 2.7 is more of a "3.0" than anything else, with a completely new hinting system and defaults. They're not going to budge on that.
This is a bit of an odd report, as I don't really know what/who is the culprit here. But it looks pretty bad if you're affected by it. in the URL field is a link of two screenshots (as I can't attach two files). Top is normal, bottom is with Freetype 2.7.
