Bug #: 32976 Summary: tax forms do not display correctly on screen Product: Wine Version: 1.5.23 Platform: x86 OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: minor Priority: P2 Component: gdi32 AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: winebz@drmm.net Classification: Unclassified
Created attachment 43554 --> http://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=43554 Console stderr output, pgm start to display of ID information on tax form
User entries on tax forms (typewriter font) display correctly, but the tax form text itself (custom IRS font included with Tax Act) is illegible. On screen, it looks as if the characters are all printed on top of each other, like a printer with a stuck carriage. See http://i45.tinypic.com/2a5hhrr.png
Tax forms print to PDF correctly when the return is printed.
This bug is present in versions 1.5.2[0-3]. It does not occur in Wine versions 1.5.1[0-9].
Tax Act 2012 may be downloaded for free from www.taxact.com/taxes-online/free-online-tax.asp - click Download on the "rocker" at top left. The bug applies to the paid Deluxe version, but the free version is essentially a crippleware version with some features blocked, so should act identically.
To reproduce the bug, click Personal Info near top of screen. Note the display of the tax form at bottom of screen. Enter any random ID information and proceed to Federal Q&A. Click Income. Add a W2 entry. Attempt to enter W2 information using Quick Entry - the W2 form is illegible and can't be used. All other IRS forms display in a similar manner.
Environment: Puppy Linux 5.25, Wine 1.5.23, winetricks 20120912, IE8 installed.
