Bug ID: 39941
           Summary: Rendering of rotated text is ugly
           Product: Wine

          Hardware: x86
                OS: Linux

Screenshot

The score dialog of Stars! renders some text at an angle. The rendering of both
current Wine and current Windows (XP) is ugly; Wine 1.3.0 and Windows 3.11
render it nice and readable.

I'll try to get a screenshot from Win 3.11, but my old VM hangs in current
Qemu, seems they broke something the Cirrus driver relied on. In any case,
making the text readable would be enough, pixel-perfect match to 3.11 is not
needed.

--- Comment #1 from Rosanne DiMesio  ---
The text is ugly but readable, so setting severity to trivial. It does not
affect the running of the program.

I'm going to leave this one unconfirmed because, as the OR notes, the fonts
look the same on real XP. I'll leave it up to someone else to decide if not
matching Windows 3.11 makes it a valid bug.

It's using a different font, but the same rendering issues are still there as
far as I can tell.
