Bug ID: 39505 Summary: Wine renders fonts out of way Product: Wine Version: 1.7.53 Hardware: x86-64 OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown Assignee: wine-bugs@winehq.org Reporter: a.shahbazi91@gmail.com CC: bunglehead@gmail.com, dmitry@baikal.ru Distribution: ---
Created attachment 52647 --> https://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=52647 Screenshot_Antialiasing_Disabled
Wine font rendering seems faulty. The attached screenshots show wine wordpad showing multiple lines with different sizes for the "Times New Roman"(default font in many apps) beside libreoffice writer showing the same lines. * On the two screenshots I have antialiasing enabled and disabled for wine but not much difference. ** I used wine 1.7.53 but it seems to be an old wine bug *** I use ubuntu based distro and native apps other than libreoffice have no problem rendering fonts **** I checked with Tahoma font and it seems out of way too
Some of the differences I noticed: - Glyphs seem to be rendered wider than libreoffice(compare "H"s in 20pt). It's worse when antialiasing is enabled. - At the same time that the glyphs seem to be rendered wider the width of lines seem to be lower(compare "0"s in 20) -"!" is not rendered straight in regular fonts! - exclamation-mark tail ending is not that sharp(compare 20pt bold) - 9pt and 12pt are complete mess!

--- Comment #2 from Dmitry Timoshkov dmitry@baikal.ru --- It would be more useful to compare screenshots of the same application under Wine and Windows.

--- Comment #3 from Nikolay Sivov bunglehead@gmail.com --- Right, try to compare with Windows gdi32 rendering using exactly same font. Regarding Wine builtin fonts, like Tahoma, yes, they won't match Windows versions, it's expected.

This is what it looks like on Windows 7 for me. AA is disabled in Wordpad on my system at 12pt and below. And as you can see exclamation mark changes shape in the same way.

--- Comment #5 from Dmitry Timoshkov dmitry@baikal.ru --- The bug description is very vague, comparing font rendering in Wine with native Linux applications/toolkits tells mostly nothing, if you have an example where Wine font rendering differs from the Windows using the same application feel free to reopen.

--- Comment #6 from Ali a.shahbazi91@gmail.com --- Created attachment 53213 --> https://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=53213 Native Wordpad Windows vs. Wine
The right side is what I get using Wordpad in Win8.1. The left side is what I get using Wine builtin wordpad.

--- Comment #9 from Ali a.shahbazi91@gmail.com --- The two previous attachments are MS Word 2010 results for Times New Roman font in both wine and Windows 8.1. Let me know if other test cases are needed.

--- Comment #10 from Aaron Franke arnfranke@yahoo.com --- Is this still an issue in Wine 2.6?
Have you tried adjusting font-related winecfg settings?
Have you tried using Winetricks to install different fonts?

--- Comment #11 from Ali a.shahbazi91@gmail.com --- The problem seems to be a freetype rendering issue and not wine's.(I checked with freetype 2.7.1 and it's a lot better) So this bug report isn't relevant anymore.
