--- Comment #12 from Sebastian Thürrschmidt thuerrschmidt@gmail.com 2010-05-21 23:56:05 --- I just updated wine to 1.2-rc1 from the PPA for Ubuntu Wine Team (Lucid). Now all my fonts look much too thin in Wine, kind of pale and greyish, so much so that I find them really hard to read. They are certainly anti-aliased, but definitely not in the way as either my Gnome Appearence settings (subpixel smoothing, slight hinting, RGB subpixel order) or my ~/.fonts.conf (very similar to Antonio's above, except that my hintstyle is set to hintfull) specify.
Removing the old Windows-type registry settings for anti-aliasing from user.reg didn't make a difference. By tweaking those I had managed to make identical fonts at identical sizes look very similar in Wine vs. native Linux applications (although they tended to come out slightly fatter in Wine, just the opposite from what's happening now).
Am I doing something wrong? Could this be a bug in how Wine handles fontconfig's hinting settings? Any suggestions are welcome. I'd also be happy to provide more details as well as screenshots if necessary.
