Summary: Dragon NaturallySpeaking text size cannot be changed in DictationBox Product: Wine Version: 1.1.22 Platform: PC URL: http://nuance.com OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: minor Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: susancragin@earthlink.net
Dragon NaturallySpeaking (all versions -- mine is 10 Standard) makes use of a DictationBox to enter text. The DictationBox's default text size is small and hard to read. The DictationBox contains a tool to change the text size to any font available in wine, but the tool does not work. This tool never has worked, i.e., this is not a regression.

--- Comment #1 from Ken Sharp kennybobs@o2.co.uk 2009-06-02 13:00:11 --- How do you mean it doesn't work? Does it give an error? Can you select a font but it makes not difference? Please elaborate.

--- Comment #2 from Susan Cragin susancragin@earthlink.net 2009-06-02 13:47:52 --- I have attached a screenshot. Here's what I do.
(1) When I open DNS, I get the DragonBar, which I have placed in the upper-right-hand corner. (2) Then I open a wine application to transfer text into, such as Notepad. (3) Then I use the drop-down menu in DragonBar to open DictationBox. (The buttons are invisible because of a gdiplus error, but they're there, and they work.) (4) When I have DictationBox open, I can dictate into it. The program runs fast and well, and lets me use all sorts of correction options that are not available were I to dictate directly into Notepad. But the text is tiny. (5) DictationBox has a button called Settings, which brings me to the box below, which has an option for me to Change Font. It allows me to select from a list of any font available on wine. It saves the information accurately. (My example shows me changing from Al-Arabyia to Purisa. Neither font change was accepted.) (6) Then I close it and go back to DictationBox, but DB still records in the tiny font it started with, which is called something like MShell_Dig_8.
The DictationBox's font selection is just for ease of use. When the user transfers text from DictationBox to Notepad, it only transfers the text, not the formatting. The text appears in Notepad's default font.
HTH.

--- Comment #4 from Ken Sharp kennybobs@o2.co.uk 2009-06-02 14:02:49 --- It looks like the app picks up the fonts ok anyway, but you could try "winetricks corefonts" to see if it makes any difference.
Plus, does the console output anything that may be related? If there is a lot of text, just attach it to the bug. Thanks.

--- Comment #5 from Susan Cragin susancragin@earthlink.net 2009-06-10 16:03:34 --- Here's what I think is happening. It sounds odd, but I think the program has two methods for locating wine's C drive, and one of them works and the other one doesn't. The fonts are on the C drive. The program has another function where it looks for the C drive to find Documents. (It is a function that is called up only once, on installation. The program looks through documents you have already created to add vocabulary.) In addition, the program has a function that writes certain temporary files to the C drive automatically after a certain amount of voice input. And that doesn't work either. But I am probably wrong, and he's why. When I call it up, the terminal gives me thousands of the following gdiplus fixme's, and then in the middle, this interesting commdlg error:
fixme:gdiplus:GdipCreateHBITMAPFromBitmap stub fixme:gdiplus:GdipCreateHBITMAPFromBitmap stub fixme:commdlg:ChooseFontA : unimplemented flag (ignored) fixme:gdiplus:GdipCreateHBITMAPFromBitmap stub fixme:gdiplus:GdipCreateHBITMAPFromBitmap stub

--- Comment #6 from Susan Cragin susancragin@earthlink.net 2009-07-12 10:58:31 --- This bug also happens in wine's included program, wordpad. The font style does not change. (Although in wordpad the size changes.)

--- Comment #7 from Susan Cragin susancragin@earthlink.net 2009-07-21 11:43:17 --- There is a partial workaround that increases fontsize for the font in Dictation Box as well as the font displayed on DragonBar.
in terminal
wine regedit
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE / System / CurrentControlSet / Hardware Profiles / Current / Software / Fonts
edit LogPixels from 60 to about 80
