------- Additional Comments From sqweek@gmail.com 2005-27-12 05:04 ------- Created an attachment (id=1583) --> (http://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=1583&action=view) "Working" fonts
By the way, I worked out exactly what garbling is happening - the font symbols are being rendered backwards (flipped horizontally), and its using the index one above the one it should (ie, "sqweek" shows up as "trxffl").
The fonts I've attached here are a temp fix. I used fontforge to manually flip the characters and shift them one index. It messes up the text on the menus but at least once you get in game the text is readable (it's not pretty, but it's readable :) ).
I just grabbed the latest cvs code (20051227) and the problem is still present. However, there is something else at work here - I have a saved wine source tree which worked great for soldat back in my Debian system. But, that same tree compiled now under SourceMage has this font issue. Probably some font config issue is involved... unfortunately I've reinstalled over Debian so can't investigate it.
