Summary: Incorrect Font Displayed After Install Product: Wine Version: 1.0.0 Platform: PC URL: see Description OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: gdi32 AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: pbronline-wine@yahoo.co.uk
Occurs with Corel WordPerfect Office X3 and WordPerfect Office 12.
Start installer. Note font (print snapshot or whatever). Install application, Quit installer. Start installer again. Font displayed is different.
With WordPerfect Office X3, the effect is obvious as the 'wrong' font is a symbol font. With WordPerfect Office 12, the 'wrong' font is very narrow (I think this may have previsouly been reported as <<poor rendering>>).
Problem affects not just the installers but also service packs and the applications themselves (particularly Presentations). I would expect it affects all installed applications.
To confirm the problem ...
1. remove all references to Corel installed fonts from system.reg which ever way you choose but the following works:
cd .wine mv system.reg system.reg~ sed -e '/TrueType.*C:.*.TTF/d' -e '/TrueType.*C:.*.ttf/d' system.reg~ > system.reg
2. move Corel installed fonts to one side for a moment:
mv drive_c/windows/Fonts drive_c/windows/Fonts.wpo mkdir drive_c/windows/Fonts
3. Start installer. Font is back to what is was before installation. Quit installer.
3. Put back a bad font:
cp -p drive_c/windows/Fonts.wpo/WPCO03N_.TTF drive_c/windows/Fonts
4. Start installer. Symbol font makes screen indecypherable.
5. Try other fonts. Not all override the 'good' font. MTEXTRA.TTF and WPHV04N_.TTF do.
Downloads ?
WordPerfect Office X3: http://www.corel.com/servlet/Satellite?pagename=uk/ProcessLayout&lc=en&a...
Professional (aka not Trial) Edition is 'fun' to install. See bug 14106.
WordPerfect Office 12: Not available for download anymore as far as I can tell. Perhaps one of the nice people who contributed to bug 2547 can help.
Standard (aka not Trial) Edition installs nicely under Wine 1.0.

In other words an intentional crippling of an existing install is required to reproduce the problem?
There is no need to add your e-mail to the cc: list if you are the reporter.

No. Certainly not.
Us 'users' are requested to describe the problem and not to provide an analysis. That is what I gave you.
The problem exists: "Start installer. Note font (print snapshot or whatever). Install application. Quit installer. Start installer again. Font displayed is different."
What steps 1 to 5 do is show how to make the problem 'disappear' and 'reappear' by moving ttf files out of and back into the Windows font directory.
IMHO, from this it may be inferred that the problem is not specific to the application or its installer and from step 5 that it is neither specific to a single ttf font file nor to Corel ttf files in general. From that it might tentatively be concluded that this is a problem germain to Wine 1.0.
Try this instead ...
1. Get a copy of WPCO03N_.TTF by whatever legal means you find most expedient (installing a trial version WordPerfect Office is probably legal and probably any version will do).
2. Create a new wine skin, copy the font into the Windows fonts directory and fire up any installer you like. Go as far as the licence agreement then quit. Here is an incomplete list of installers from my Windows archive with either a screwed up 'welcome' screen or a screwed up 'licence agreement':
Firefox Setup 2.0.0.11.exe jre-6u3-windows-i586-p-s.exe OOo_2.3.0_Win32Intel_install_wJRE_en-US.exe FoxitReader22_setup.exe Comodo/CFP_Setup_English_2.4.18.184.exe SilentNight Micro Burner/microburner.exe
and not forgetting:
Setup.exe on Corel WordPerfect Office X3 (Professional) CD Intro.exe on Corel WordPerfect Office 12 (Standard) CD Corel/WPOX3_SP2_HotPatch4_EN.msp Corel/WP12SP1E.msp
Even the Adobe Acrobat that came with the WP X3 is affected.

Is this still an issue in current (1.1.12 or newer) wine?
Yes it is. Unable to install application since Wine 1.1.2. However, if I upgrade an installation done under Wine 1.1.2 to 1.1.12 the problem and the workaround are as originally reported.
