[Bug 18971] New: Font's not properly setup in the registry? (appinstall)

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18971

Summary: Font's not properly setup in the registry?
                    (appinstall)
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.1.23
          Platform: PC
               URL: http://www.ccleaner.com/download
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Keywords: download, source
          Severity: minor
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]

Found while testing CCleaner for appinstall, wine's got ~10 registry errors.

I've sent patches for a few of them, but I'm not as sure on these...

Font Issue    Courier (coure.fon)    HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\Fonts

Font Issue    MS Sans Serif (sserife.fon)    HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\Fonts

Font Issue    MS Serif (serife.fon)    HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\Fonts

Font Issue    Small Fonts (smalle.fon)    HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\Fonts

We claim to have these fonts, but really, we've substitutes that have different
names. Windows does the same, but doesn't get a complaint from CCleaner, so
we're not doing something right.

Wine has all that fonts except serife.fon. It's not clear to me what CCleaner
is complaining about.

Sorry, forgot the actual error message:
"The Font coure.fon could not be found. These references are often left behind
after uninstalling software.

Solution: Delete the registry value."

Apparently it's looking for the file to actually exist. A simple 'touch
$HOME/.wine/drive_c/windows/Fonts/{serife,sserife,coure,smalle}.fon' is enough
to make it happy...

patch

Adding placeholder 'dlls' fixes this. Thoughts?

The .fon files are already just the resource "placeholders". Alexandre
didn't like the idea to have .fon files under windows/fonts, since they
are installed in the shared system place.

Those 'placeholders' don't actually exist anywhere, though, which is why the
test is failing. I wouldn't doubt that there's probably some other applications
doing similar things.

The Wine fonts get installed to /usr/share/wine/fonts

Sorry, I meant within the WINEPREFIX...can we perhaps edit the registry entry
to point to that file?

FontExpert2009 has a similar problem. It loads those fonts fine, but when you
try to 'view the source files', it gives an error, since the full path isn't
known.

System loaded fonts are fine.

Windows doesn't specify full paths for font files which should be installed
into windows\fonts so Wine shouldn't either.

Also full path to /usr/share/wine/fonts should be related to z:\ which
doesn't exist sometimes (and technically is not required).

Right. I guess now that we know there are apps using it, AJ may change his mind
about installing the fonts there.

Of course.

Monopoly (2000) tries to call AddFontResource("C:\windows\fonts\vgasys.fon")
and expects this to succeed. Copying fonts into C:\windows\fonts allows the
game to get farther.
