Probably, part of the same bug, in kbasic (open source) when the windows are
redrawn, theres a CPU surge slowing down the application.

I've confirmed this bug - Qt 4.5 applications have no text with winver>=win2000

But I can't use Apogee Rocksim 9 - it crashes when winver is less than win2000
because it doesn't support these OSs.

I'll be very pleased if this bug is fixed somehow...

You can set different applications to different wine versions, or use separate
WINEPREFIX's...

Rocksim is written in Qt. If winver is set to 2000 or more - there's no text in
the rocksim windows. If winver is set to ME or less - it crashes.

I can confirm that setting screen resolution > 166 dpi in winecfg, "fixes" the
bug, the text is visible then.

In our case the problem was with the font substitution. There was just a single
font installed on the system, and it didn't substitute properly. I.e., inside
Qt application setting an unexisting font resulted in just blank data.

This also affects Autodesk Mudbox 2010 (trial version). The app requires XP or
later, so changing the Windows version is not an option. Setting the resolution
> 166 dpi makes the fonts visible, though they are bigger than they should be.

I confirm this bug in Wine 1.1.30. I tested a couple of my own Qt 4.5 apps and
none of them had text, BUT I noticed something strange - non-English
characters, like "ł", "ś", ć" were displayed properly. I've attached two
screenshots while running with Polish and English version of translations and
also log from the terminal.

My app can be downloaded from here:
http://www.qt-apps.org/content/show.php/Multilotek?content=111660 
(there's a source for Linux and Windows and a binary version for Windows).

To my experience, the problem occurred because Qt could not locate the _exact_
font used by the application, and could not provide a substitution.

I.e., using 'Verdana' or 'Arial' on a system, which only had 'Lucida Sans'
installed, was showing up empty space within the text inside Qt applications,
while other applications behaved fine.

Adding few lines inside Qt source code to provide an explicit substitution for
the fonts, made all the text appear properly.

It's hard to say if it is a Qt or a Wine problem, but the fact is that it
worked with some of the previous Wine builds at some time, using the same Qt
version.

"It's hard to say if it is a Qt or a Wine problem"

I am assuming your diagnosis is correct. It sounds like it is.

This is a Wine problem. It is not doing whatever Windows is doing to pick a
font. Is wine's goal still to be 100% bug for bug compatible? It might be a Qt
problem too. That depends on whether Qt is using an undocumented feature/bug,
or if wine is not doing something that Microsoft has appropriately documented.

"the fact is that it worked with some of the previous Wine builds at some time,
using the same Qt version."

No it didn't. As soon as Qt 4.5.0 came out, lots of people started having these
problems. I am using wine 1.0.1, the latest stable version. What wine version
have you used that works with Qt 4.5.*

"Adding few lines inside Qt source code to provide an explicit substitution for

I bet providing your patch would be helpful. It couldn't hurt.

I think Qt 4.4.3 didn't work with the latest Wine either. I unfortunately do
not have the system to verify this now.

The other version of wine which has been tried was very old, from 2007 or 2005
even.

We were running software on Muse Research Receptor, which runs Linux+Wine

This isn't really a patch, but a very particular solution to make a program
work on a predetermined system. This isn't something that the community can
universally benefit from:

app->setFont(QFont("Luxi Sans",8));
    QFont::insertSubstitution("Arial","Luxi Sans");
    QFont::insertSubstitution("Verdana","Luxi Sans");
    QFont::insertSubstitution("Tahoma","Luxi Sans");
    QFont::insertSubstitution("MS Sans Serif","Luxi Sans");
    QFont::insertSubstitution("Microsoft Sans Serif","Luxi Sans");

This bug is affecting a lot of apps, should have a higher importance.

Can we get a minimal test case, i.e. a ten-line Qt program
(sources and executable) that demonstrates the problem?

Here you go, a simple 10-lines "Hello Wine" app.

Binaries: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/649112/hello_wine.tar.gz
Sources: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/649112/hello_wine_src.tar.gz
Screenshots: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/649112/hello_wine_screenshots.jpg

Note how I used stardard English characters there, but also two Polish
characters. In the screen you can see that only Polish ones are visible in
Wine. (It is important that sources are encoded in UTF-8).

I'll be happy to answer any further questions.

The testcases I've just provided are compiled with Qt 4.6, so you could change
the bug title to include "Qt 4.5 or later".

hack: Disable scalable font check in WineEngGetCharABCWidths.

Qt calls GetCharABCWidthsFloat with a non-scalable font selected. This
succeeds on Windows but doesn't on Wine because we implement it on top
of GetCharABCWidths, which rejects non-scalable fonts.

With this hack applied the minimal test case shows text. The right fix
is probably to write a WineEngGetCharABCWidthsFloat function and forward
GetCharABCWidthsFloat to it.

I see this is closed, but I just updated to 1.1.41 and i still have missing
text. I am running Qt Dominate (dominategame.com). Do I need to do something
other than update wine in order to fix this? Thanks

Wine 1.1.42 is the latest release.

I misread your comment, you should test (the testcase attached to this bug
report) with the release in which it was fixed.  If it works then but not now
file a new bug, if it never worked then we can reopen.

ok, i tried the testcase and it seemed to work, but Qt Dominate still exhibits
the same problems. Maybe it is a different bug? When I run the program
(Dominate) it appears fine, but after several minutes, all text disappears from
the status window in the lower left and never reappears. It works fine on my
windows XP machine.

Do i need to open a new bug report or is this something the testcase didn't
catch?

Qt Dominate uses Qt 2.3.0, thus you should file a separate bug report - what
you observer there (I see it too) is a completely different issue.
