------- Additional Comments From dave@waveform.plus.com 2007-20-04 18:19 ------- On a hunch, I discovered a work-around for this bug: change the Default Sans Serif font to something other than Microsoft Sans Serif (the default). To use the workaround:
1. Start up Notes 2. Select File | Preferences | User Preferences... (you'll need the oleacc.dll override, mentioned at http://wiki.winehq.org/LotusNotes to avoid this crashing Notes) 3. Under the "Basics" tab, which should be selected by default, click on the "Default Fonts..." button in the "Display Options" group at the top left 4. In the dialog that appears, select something other than Microsoft Sans Serif in the "Default Sans Serif" drop-down list.
If you have the problem with Default Monospace as well, pick a different default font for that too.
I've tried Arial and Courier New for the Default Sans Serif and Default Monospace fonts respectively and found it fixes the problem nicely (also fixes bold or italic fonts not appearing in navigators, e.g. folders in one's mail database which contain unread mail), and other elements of the user interface where Default Sans Serif has been used.
Obviously, this workaround will cause things to look a little different (wherever a database, a memo, or some chunk of the interface used Microsoft Sans Serif it'll now use Arial (or whatever you've chosen) instead). However, provided the substituted font is similar to Microsoft Sans Serif it's barely noticeable.
This workaround does also suggest that the underlying bug is something to do with the Microsoft Sans Serif font (given that substituting another TTF font like Arial cures it)... Is there something "special" about it?
Tested with Notes 7.0 / Wine 0.9.35.
