Summary: Half-life 2 font issue with 0.9.48 (works 0.9.40) Product: Wine Version: 0.9.48. Platform: All OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: wine-misc AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: sandbag@luukku.com
Hello,
Half-Life 2: Episode Two main menu and game fonts are messed up when using WINE 0.9.48. Fonts will work on WINE 0.9.40.
HL2-specific fonts are replaced with some other font and main menu fonts look "jagged" when compared to 0.9.40. During game play crosshair and HUD fonts are using some other font than HL2crosshair.ttf and halflife2.ttf. Game crashes when changing weapon. However, HL2 console font looks far better on 0.9.48.
Please see following screenshots.

Going back to WINE 0.9.40 fixes fonts, but there are some game crash issues. Version 0.9.40 is the last one which works, 0.9.41 introduces this font problem.
Also Half-Life 2 and Half-Life 2: Episode One has this same problem with all WINE versions starting with 0.9.41.
I'm using HL2:EP2 with SteamEmu and starting game with following command line: wine hl2.exe -dxlevel 81 -steam -game ep2 -novid -console -heapsize 512000 Having extracted GCF-files has no effect on this, tested on HL2:EP1.
I tried to fix problem with following steps. 1) by copying HL2-fonts to KDE ".fonts" dir. They will show up on KDE and Control Center, but this does not fix issue. 2) Deleting all duplicate fonts which are included with WINE from windows font directory. No effect. 3) "Reinstalling" wine by deleting ".wine"-dir and recreating it with winecfg. Installed only HL2: Episode Two. No effect.
