Bug #: 32463 Summary: Font artefacts in Path of Exile Product: Wine Version: 1.5.19 Platform: x86 OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: gdi32 AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: julusp@gmail.com Classification: Unclassified

Created attachment 42822 --> http://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=42822 Font distortion

The font in the path of exile produces artefacts/distortion as in the screenshot. (The font on screenshot is substituted to arial). In the original font (fontin) some of the italic words are almost impossible to read because of the distortion.

This has nothing to do with the issue, when I substituted fonts for arial, this message did not occur at all.

The log was taken on OSX 10.8.2, wine 1.5.22, compiled by clang. But as the issue is same for both the Linux and OSX, this should be irrelevant. (also no font substitution used this time)

The problem has been identified further - problem seems to be in d3dx9_42.dll While using built-in d3dx9_42.dll the fonts were nice and smooth. Installing any of d3dx9_42.dll will cause the corruption.

Problems caused by using native dlls are not valid bugs.

The game has changed a little bit recently, and it will now not load without native d3dx9_42.dll (otherwise will crash)

Please run a regression test and file a separate bug for that.

I see the point there, but as this cannot be reproduced on Windows, isn't there a chance that it might point to some other bug in wine, that usage of native d3dx9_42.dll triggers?

Regression test can't be done, as the game changed itself, not the wine. Anyway, separate bugs for the new 2 issues that appeared are long opened - Bug 34819 and Bug 34820

This is workaround, not solution, and the fonts are still distorted.

Has anyone tried Fergs recommendation of moving the game to a new prefix to fix font bugs?

This was possible as long as the game was dependant on d3dx9_36. Now it is depends on d3dx9_43 and AFAIK there is no other workaround for it.

Also that was the reason why moving PoE into new wine prefix fixed the bug, as game was installing d3dx9_43 but back then it could run without it. Now it can't.

--- Comment #24 from Screwtape thristian@gmail.com --- Somewhere along the line (perhaps with Path of Exile 2.0), Grinding Gear Games changed the way the game renders text, allowing them to use kerning correctly but also (as a happy side-effect) fixing text-rendering in Wine.

So this bug may be difficult-or-impossible to reproduce now.

Perhaps.

I can say for sure (installed it a few minutes ago) that on WINE 1.8 I do NOT see any artifacting on the text.

That being said though I did install the typical font files you would expect to install. In the past the workaround for POE was to install Tahoma fonts to make the text look better. So that is just habit for me to install now. I also install the Corefonts which is just a bunch of default fonts that many programs take advantage of anyway.

Though I don't see why you couldn't just press the "allfonts" option in winetricks. I mean its fonts. not really a highly volatile thing there.
