Summary: Freelancer renders huge fonts sizes Product: Wine Version: 1.1.10 Platform: PC OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: kai@kaishome.de
My resolution is set to 1600x1200 which computes to 126dpi on my monitor. In Xorg this is fine, programs render nice. But it's common knowledge that most windows programs look ugly or render unusable dialogs when the font resolution is set other than 96dpi. So in winecfg I set it to 96 dpi and all windows programs I try render correctly (with tiny fonts however - but that's okay for a windows program ;-)).
But it looks like either wine doesn't respect that when rendering Freelancers fonts or it renders font sizes wrong on opengl surfaces independent of dpi settings.
In Freelancer there are overlapping texts in almost any dialog (attaching an example screenshot). The buy screen is almost unusable.
Maybe it's related: In some dialogs (eg. mission briefings) I find something that looks like html code and I suppose it comes from the dialogs utilizing rtf code to do the formatting. Some rtf tags are ignored by wine and rendered plain text - so formatting isn't really working. Maybe this relates to the incorrect font sizes...
