Bug ID: 45332 Summary: Fonts in wine windows keep shrinking Product: Wine Version: 3.9 Hardware: x86-64 OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown Assignee: wine-bugs@winehq.org Reporter: hautsuhatsu@gmail.com Distribution: ---
In winecfg there’s Desktop integration tab. Each time I set - menu text font size - message text font size - active title text font size to 10, 12 or 14 pt, then run a program in virtual desktop and visit winecfg again (without changing anything in desktop integration tab!), I notice that with each run fonts in the main menu, in message boxes and in window title shrink by ~2pt per run, until they become ant-sized at around 3 pt.
I’ve noticed, that the settings do not persist even when the tab in winecfg is still open – I press “Apply” and go check the font size again – it has already shrunken.
If I don’t open winecfg, the font in the application doesn’t change. I’d like to know how to fight that shrinking, because it’s annoying.

--- Comment #1 from Fabian Maurer dark.shadow4@web.de --- Currently can reproduce. Can you give the exact steps on how to reproduce with a fresh WINEPREFIX, preferable with a program that is included with wine?

--- Comment #2 from Baustein hautsuhatsu@gmail.com --- Yes. It seems I forgot about one step. The following list is always reproducible
1. Run $ WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=~/.wine32-hurr wineboot $ WINEPREFIX=~/.wine32-hurr winecfg
2. In wine config, open Graphics tab and set - virtual desktop to 1024x768; - dpi to “140”. Then switch to Desktop integration tab and there - in the “Item” drop-down box choose “Active Title Text” and click “Font” button. Select Tahoma Regular 14 pt, press “OK”; - press “Apply” and “OK”.
3. Launch wine config again $ WINEPREFIX=~/.wine32-hurr winecfg Check Graphics and Desktop integration tabs – dpi should be 140, and Active Title Text have font size 14 pt. Press “OK” to close font window and “OK” to close wine config.
4. Launch wine config second time $ WINEPREFIX=~/.wine32-hurr winecfg Notice the text in the titlebar saying “Wine configuration” shrank. Go to Desktop integration and see, that the font size for Active Title Text changed to 10 pt by itself. Press “OK” to close font window and “OK” to close wine config.
5. From now on every launch of winecfg will drop the font size first to 7 pt, then to 5, 3, 2 and finally 1 pt.
***
No external theme or another application needed, only winecfg.
Tahoma font is built-in. In my terminal $ fc-list | grep -i tahoma $ find /usr/share/fonts/ -iname "*tahoma*" both return nothing. Listing the package file I found, that there is tahoma.tff in /usr/share/wine-vanilla-3.9/wine/fonts/

--- Comment #3 from Fabian Maurer dark.shadow4@web.de --- Confirming. It seems to save the wrong font size, aka when setting it to 16pt, it is loaded as 11pt next time.
Simpler steps to reproduce: - clean WINEPREFIX - Enable virtual desktop - change DPI to 120 - restart winecfg - Desktop Integration -> change "Active Title Text" font size to 16pt - restart wniecfg - "Active Title Text" is now 13pt
Also, the title is sometimes weird, see https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=44030
