Summary: Wine should include the Microsoft Sans Serif font Product: Wine Version: unspecified Platform: PC OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: fonts AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: madewokherd@gmail.com
The GdipGetGenericFontFamilySansSerif function should return the "Microsoft Sans Serif" font family, but this font does not exist in Wine. Wine should include a truetype font with this name so gdiplus can be fixed.

--- Comment #1 from Dmitry Timoshkov dmitry@codeweavers.com 2009-09-14 22:26:37 --- Win9x and NT40 don't include Microsoft Sans Serif, how does the test behave there?
Is there an app that depends on this? Or is it just test? Perhaps returning Tahoma is not that bad for Wine purposes.

--- Comment #2 from Vincent Povirk madewokherd@gmail.com 2009-09-15 04:04:59 --- It's most important that we move away from "MS Sans Serif", which is a bitmap font that cannot be scaled/rotated, and which gdiplus shouldn't be able to use anyway.
I don't know of any applications that rely on the font being "Microsoft Sans Serif" specifically, but given that we have a test for it I feel reluctant to change it from one wrong thing to a different (but better) wrong thing.
It seems most win9x and NT4 systems do not have gdiplus: http://test.winehq.org/data/tests/gdiplus:font.html
A few win98 systems do, and these apparently return the correct font.

--- Comment #3 from Dmitry Timoshkov dmitry@codeweavers.com 2009-09-15 04:49:20 --- Win98 I have here for testing doesn't have Microsoft Sans Serif font installed. It doesn't have gdiplus.dll either, but that's not related.

--- Comment #4 from Vincent Povirk madewokherd@gmail.com 2009-09-15 04:56:59 --- Well, for whatever reason GdipGetGenericFontFamilySansSerif on Windows always returns a font family that claims to be Microsoft Sans Serif. Otherwise, we'd be seeing skips or failures in the font test on Windows.
While this doesn't prove that the font is really installed, it's the simplest explanation.

--- Comment #5 from Vincent Povirk madewokherd@gmail.com 2010-04-15 11:14:02 --- Hmm, this report on Windows ME shows that GdipGetFontFamilySansSerif returns the "Microsoft Sans Serif" font even though gdi32:font doesn't list it as installed: http://test.winehq.org/data/0bc218b9db25bea09f82d0cef306fa152230dfce/me_fg-w...
So something weird is going on here.

--- Comment #8 from Doktor Joy doktor@doktorjoy.org 2010-06-11 13:24:21 --- This backtrace captured on a Mac (Snow Leopard 10.6.3 with WineBottler - Wine 1.1.44. Tahoma and Corefonts installed).
Other EVEMON users report this bug also occurs on Wine under Linux.
To reproduce- launch EVEMON - create a training plan, and then try to dismiss the 'hot-tip' that pops up in yellow in the top-right corner

--- Comment #9 from Vincent Povirk madewokherd@gmail.com 2010-06-11 13:37:38 --- I think you posted that to the wrong bug.

--- Comment #10 from Doktor Joy doktor@doktorjoy.org 2010-06-12 10:51:04 --- No - I think it is the correct bug. EVEMON crashes because it fails to load Microsoft Sans Serif. I guess it ought not to crash for such a trivial reason, but it does.
Including MS Sans Serif in Wine, would prevent the crash.

--- Comment #11 from Vincent Povirk madewokherd@gmail.com 2010-06-12 16:18:11 --- That's listed as a "handled exception" in the log. The real problem is different.

--- Comment #12 from butraxz@gmail.com 2013-06-27 12:29:21 CDT --- This ticket has not been updated for over 900 days.
Is this still an issue in wine version 1.6-rc3 or higher or is this to be closed as abandoned ?

--- Comment #15 from florian.will@gmail.com --- Probably related to this bug, "ZUSI 3 - Aerosoft Edition" fails to start the "ZusiDisplay" component since a recent game update. That game update changed ZusiDisplay to use dotnet core instead of dotnet. It also installed dotnet core into the game's proton prefix on first launch, so I'm probably using dotnet core instead of wine-mono now.
Message boxes pop up telling me "Fehler beim Erstellen des Fensters! (Font 'Microsoft Sans Serif' cannot be found.)", and the first sentence translates to "error creating the window".
It turns out that the "dotnet -> dotnet core" migration guide [1] by Microsoft mentions that the default font for dotnet core is now "Segoe UI 9 pt" instead of "Microsoft Sans Serif 8 pt". It recommends to manually change the font back to "Microsoft Sans Serif 8 pt" if an application depends on that previous default setting. So I guess more and more legacy applications will explicitly require Microsoft Sans Serif as they are ported over to dotnet core.
[1] https://docs.microsoft.com/de-de/dotnet/core/compatibility/fx-core
So I feel like having a "Microsoft Sans Serif"-named font with similar metrics included in wine might be a higher priority now.
