[Bug 13129] New: Jumbled fonts in Persona Windows client

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13129

Summary: Jumbled fonts in Persona Windows client
           Product: WineHQ Bugzilla
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: bugzilla-unknown
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]

Persona which may be obtained from:
http://chesapeakeengine.com/PersonaWindowsClient.html. It will install and load
properly, but when you connect to a server, the fonts appear as very strange
and unreadable characters. To reproduce this behavior, install the app then
connect to the server www.chesapeakeengine.com  This one app has been keeping
me from dumping Windows for years and I've tested many versions of Wine and
many different Linux distros.

Created an attachment (id=12932)
 --> (http://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=12932)
registry entry i changed

Hi, have you tested this app under windows? How does it work there?

I tried messing around with corefonts and windowsfonts but that didn't help.
Then i thought have a look in the registry , and there i found a reference to
some strange fontname i never saw (PSFascii or something like that). When i
change that  into tahoma, at least i can read the letters, they are normal
characters again. 
I attached a screenshot of the registry entry i changed

It does work fine under windows. I use it everyday in my business, hence my
desire to see it work under Wine so I can finally switch to Linux 100%

I will try your registry trick and see how that goes.

thanks!

I don't see weird fonts, but it crashes soon after connecting:

Found an alternate download: http://terminal.mdeca.org/persona

You have to download using Windows Firefox, because Wine's iexplore just hangs
trying to connect, and if you connect with a Linux browser the download page
will offer you the Unix/Solaris client. Download the Windows Thin Client.

The installer is a WinZip self-extracting file. It still crashes as reported in
comment #5, but the app is installed anyway.

Running the installed app, using terminal.mdeca.org as the server to connect
to, the text displayed in the terminal window was in a Greek font. I found the
registry key mentioned in comment #1 and changed it to Tahoma as described, and
when I reconnected the text displayed normally. So this is still a bug in
1.1.27.

I also use this software quite often. I just installed wine 1.1.27. It is still
an issue.

I found special font entries: PsfASCII and PsfDecSpecGraph. I changed them both
over to tahoma, and it functionally works. I believe the PsfDecSpecGraph was
used for line drawing. So the boxes around the text shows as letters. If there
is a way to make it use the terminal font, it would look correct.

Also, since there seems to be an issue with links, Here are more alternates:

--- Comment #9 from Rosanne DiMesio   2009-08-21 16:17:30 ---
I did a little more exploring, and I found that the app actually had installed
psfascii.ttf to drive_c/users/dimesio/Application Data/Esker/Persona Windows
Client/Fonts. I copied the file to the windows/fonts directory, but had to
delete the registry key entirely to get the app to use it (the app recreates
that key on startup if it is missing). Once I did that, the font displayed
fine.

I also checked how the app behaves in XP (I had to boot into it today anyway
for something else), and it created the same registry key and installed the
font into C:\Documents and Settings\dimesio\Application Data\Esker\Persona
Windows Client\Fonts. Windows is able to use the font from that location.

Does not work here: only once the program shows normal characters. Starting the
next time reverts to the symbol font.

It is also not true that wine cannot find/use the font in the application data
directory:

0009:Call gdi32.AddFontResourceA(0015089c
"C:\windows\profiles\rein\Applicatie Data\Esker\Persona Windows
Client\Fonts\psfascii.TTF") ret=0040a6c1

0009:Ret  gdi32.AddFontResourceA() retval=00000001 ret=0040a6c1

The problem is I think that on XP the font dialog shows as a "Symbol" font. On
wine it is a regular font. Checked using notepad.

Thus when the applications requests loading the "psfascii" font it specifies
the characterset "SYMBOL". Wine's fontmapper returns some symbol font, but not
psfascii since that does not fulfills the basic requirement:

0009:Call gdi32.SelectObject(00000314,000054f4) ret=0040bbb2

You're right. Sorry, I should have checked that.

Browsing through the fonts on my system, I found another "MT Extra.ttf" that is
not correctly recognized as a symbol font.

This font and the Psfascii font behave correctly with this little patch:

Patch works for me as well. :) Thanks!

Suggestion Rein, can you add that patch as an attachment? 
I struggled a little getting it installed due to line breaks. And I had to look
up how to apply a patch. It's been some years since I dealt with linux source
code.

But at least it appears to be working perfectly! :)

I have one program left to see if I can get working under linux, but
unfortunately it's a big one.

That code has changed since last comment as seen in:
http://source.winehq.org/source/dlls/gdi32/freetype.c#L1663

Can anyone retest in wine 1.5.2? This may have been fixed.

I tried but all I get is IDS_CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED when trying to connect
(which maybe can be a new bug).

I made an .sh file that will load a registry file that has the key in question
deleted, then runs persona..

If you use this work around, you will first need to run 'wine regedit' from
terminal, and manually delete the key mentioned, then export the whole registry
to default location. This is the file that will be reloaded into the wine
registry at every excecution of the script.

Still present in 1.9.15.

The first two download links in comment 8 still work. You can test the
installed client with those servers, dixiesales.com or codis.gardnerinc.com.

Well I tested this bug now. There was some working download at comment 8. I
opened 3 different servers. I don't see anything wrong with the fonts and I
also don't know how I supposed to use this software.

I tested both the Dixie Sales and Gardner Inc clients and servers, and the
problem is still present in 1.9.22.

Note that the clients from the two sites have different names, but the sha1sum
is the same for both.

http://www.dixiesales.com/persona.aspx
sha1sum /wine/testing/PersonaSetup.exe 
a90e7c132c2afcdebcaeb0418d78a101f9ec9224  /wine/testing/PersonaSetup.exe

a90e7c132c2afcdebcaeb0418d78a101f9ec9224  /wine/testing/Persona_WC32.exe

To reproduce:

!. Install the downloaded client.
2. Run ThinTerm.exe
3. Add a server to the "Persona Server Name or IP Address" field and click
Open.
4. The name of the server should appear in the Sessions field. Select it and
click Open. 
5. A "Connecting" message (fonts look fine) will briefly appear, then a
terminal window with gibberish.
