--- Comment #95 from Andrea Denzler denzler@usa.net 2009-06-04 02:27:55 --- Created an attachment (id=21537) --> (http://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=21537) FontTest application
I don't know the Wine/Windows internals, so I don't know if the incorrect rendering has to do with some distribution settings or with an internal bug. - Under Windows the DEFAULT CHARSET will display all unicode fonts for Arial. - Under Wine the DEFAULT CHARSET will display only base characters for Arial. Since the Arial font seems to not contain unicode glyphs there exists a kind of font replace only for the missing glyphs. But I don't know if this coded or specified through settings. I tried to search in the Windows registry for that without success. I tried to copy all Windows fonts to Wine, and I tried to copy all Windows font registry settings to Wine. I wasn't able to solve the issues.
Under Mac the situation is even worse, most charsets are just shown incorrectly even if the font has the glyphs. See previous attachment. Funny to note that also under Mac I found the only situation (with CHINESE BIG5 CHARSET) that seems to show correctly all glyphs. Worst and Best case on OS X.
