[Bug 10029] New: Tahoma entry in registry, but tahoma related errors re-occur followed by registry entry vanishing

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10029

Summary: Tahoma entry in registry, but tahoma related errors re-
                    occur followed by registry entry vanishing
           Product: Wine
           Version: 0.9.47.
          Platform: PC-x86-64
               URL: http://www.invelos.com/Downloads.aspx
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: minor
          Priority: P2
         Component: wine-misc
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]

The recent wine release (0.9.47) mentioned a change relating to the Tahoma font
- a font which causes issues for one of my applications, DVD Profiler. To se if
this resolved the issue, I tried upgrading from wine 0.9.46 to 0.9.47 with a
fresh .wine directory to see what happened.

In 0.9.46, the following would be observed behaviour with a typical install:
1) Run winecfg as normal
2) Install gecko using winetricks
3) Run setup.exe for DVD Profiler
4) Go through installation without issues
5) Run DVD Profiler and be inundated with 'invalid floating point' errors.
6) Kill application.
7) Add tahoma.ttf to fonts directory
8) Add tahoma entry to registry under
"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/Miscrosoft/WindowsNT/CurrentVersion/Font"
9) Run DVD Profiler, get one 'invalid floating point' error (bug 8460), and
then the application runs (mostly) as expected.

In 0.9.47, I confirmed that a) the font directory was empty, and b) the tahoma
registry entry as described under step 8 above existed after running winecfg,
without me having to enter it. I then ran a similar process to that described
above:
1) - 4) as before
5) Unexpectedly got same response

!!! Checking, the registry entry that was confirmed before installing DVD
Profiler was gone!

6+) as before.

In summary, the tahoma registry entry appeared at winecfg and then vanished
when it was required. Otherwise, performance was as 0.9.46.

Is this still an issue in current (0.9.59 or newer) wine?

Yes, but I do have more to add (only just discovered this).

There is a difference in behaviour depending on whether I run winecfg or not.
Note that the user manual in the Wiki currently suggests that winecfg should be
run as part of the setup process, but a query on the user forum / mailing list
indicated that winecfg is not required / should not be run.

Anyway,

If you run winecfg as described in step 1), you get the bahaviour as described
(i.e. the tahoma entry in the registry vanishes when you run the app and you
have to re-enter it manually using winetricks and regedit). However, if you
omit running winecfg, the application runs fine without the tahoma-based errors
and there is no funny business with a disappearing tahoma registry value.

Basically, it looks as though there's something funny going on when you use
winecfg to trigger the .wine directory creation. It seems to somehow create a
tahoma registry entry that does not persist as it should.

Hope that helps.
