Summary: Fixedsys in mIRC only has Regular font weight Product: Wine Version: 1.1.31 Platform: PC OS/Version: FreeBSD Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: cyberbotx@cyberbotx.com
When running mIRC on an actual Windows XP machine and going into it's Font dialog, it shows Regular, Italic, Bold, and Bold Italic for font weights (it labels them as Font Style). However, when mIRC is run under Wine, and the Fixedsys .fon font files are copied to Wine's Fonts directory from a Windows XP mahcine, the only font weight shown for Fixedsys is Regular. I'm not 100% sure if I have all the .fon files needed for Fixedsys to have the other 3 font weights, but I do have the following in my Fonts directory currently:
ls ~/.wine/harddiskvolume1/windows/Fonts/ 8514fix.fon 85f1257.fon QT2C_P.TTF QT2_P.TTF j8514fix.fon vgafix.fon 8514fixe.fon OCRA2_P.TTF QT2M_P.TTF c8514fix.fon jvgafix.fon vgafixe.fon 8514fixg.fon OCRBMT.TTF QT2PI_P.TTF cvgafix.fon s8514fix.fon vgafixg.fon 8514fixr.fon QT2C_B.TTF QT2_B.TTF h8514fix.fon svgafix.fon vgafixr.fon 8514fixt.fon QT2C_I.TTF QT2_I.TTF hvgafix.fon vgaf1257.fon vgafixt.fon
(Ignore the .ttf files, those are for other fonts that were probably installed by other applications.)
I was unable to find any other files on a Windows XP installation that had Fixedsys in it. As a result of the lack of Bold, any time there is Bold text sent to mIRC, it fails to render it in Bold and instead renders it in Regular.

Duplicate.
