In my case antialiasing does not work completely. It is not blurry, this bug
appears in different apps (for example in regedit on my screenshot). I have
also tried to use default Wine theme: no difference.

Using 1.5.18 on Fedora 17 64 bit, still has this issue. Works fine on a 32 bit
FC17. Why doesn't font rendering work in 64 bit?

I have tried all of the below steps but non of them work.

Here is a working image of font smoothing, everything else being the same
except that the OS is 32 bit. Works fine on 32 bit, but not 64 bit.

Can you test it in winecfg, for example? May be font rendering in your app were
doing in non standart way?

I have tried changing winecfg dpi to a higher value, but that don't work. All
wine fonts are devoid of any anti-aliasing. So anti-aliasing in wine is not
really working on 64 bit kernels.

Alexandre,

Do you have any pointers on how to fix this on a 64 bit machine?

Btw, I am using Source Insight and I have imported all the fonts from a Windows
install. I have set the default font to be Verdana.

There's something broken with your setup, probably missing some 32-bit
libraries. You can get a +font log to see what's going on.

Please find attached font debug output. Appreciate if someone can point to any
thing suspicious.

You'd need to attach the full log, yours doesn't show any of the interesting
initialization bits.

trace:font:is_subpixel_rendering_enabled subpixel rendering is NOT enabled

Your Freetype library doesn't support subpixel antialiasing.

This is good information.
I downloaded freetype 2.5.0, defined FT_CONFIG_OPTION_SUBPIXEL_RENDERING in
ftoption.h and installed it. The log (attached) now shows

trace:font:is_subpixel_rendering_enabled subpixel rendering is enabled

But there is a last trace message that still shows "NOT enabled".
Not able to figure out why :-(

There are multiple users having the same issue. One such user posted a link on
how to solve the rendering problem here
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=134977

So, essentially what they did was to enable Infinality Font Rendering. After
that the fonts look swell. For the record, one can follow the instructions
here.
