[Bug 10214] New: Window fonts render italisized, bold, and ugly.

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10214

Summary: Window fonts render italisized, bold, and ugly.
           Product: Wine
           Version: 0.9.48.
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: other
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: wine-gdi-(printing)
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]

I'm pretty sure this is trivial and I'm missing something here but whenever I
run Pokerstars, the window fonts render very ugly. I've Googled for this issue
and can't seem to find other people having this problem or a solution. I'm
running Sabayon 3.4 mini with Fontforge installed. I've looked at the font
settings in WineCFG but I don't seem to be able to change the right setting.
I'm thinking it could be a registry setting. If someone can lead me to the
right track on how to change this, i'd greatly appreciate it. I'll post
screenshots of this. I've only been able to reproduce this bug in PokerStars.
Oddly enough, when I copy all of the fonts from my windows installation to the
Fonts folder in drive_c, the font becomes bold.

Ugly Rendering fonts

Not too obvious here, but the font is located at the window above Tourney.

Ugly Rendering fonts

It's more obvious here with the button text and the table layout list.

Ugly Rendering fonts

Oddly enough, I've only seen this problem limited to PokerStars. I've used
Firefox, Thunderbird, Shareaza, and several other programs. PokerStars is the
only one that renders these fonts rather ugly.

what distro are you running?

Did you compile wine yourself or are you using a package provided by the
distro? If you compiled wine yourself, what version of fontforge do you have
installed?

if you start with a clean .wine directory, can you reproduce the problem, in
say, pokerstar?

I am currently running Sabayon 3.4 mini. Fontforge and Wine were both installed
by Portato (aka: Emerge). I have also installed Wine by source only to achieve
the same results. Fontforge was updated to version 20071002 with every flag
enabled, I installed Wine with all flags enabled too. I have Wine 0.9.48
installed. I went back to a previous version of Wine (0.9.30) with the same
problem. I kept an eye out for FontForge and it seemed to have found it with no
problem while I ran ./configure.

I copied all my fonts over from an existing Windows installation. Without any
fonts in drive_c/fonts folder, the text has same font, italizised, but not
bolded. When I add all my Windows fonts, (250 or so) the font becomes bolded.

I have already deleted my Wine directory and reinstalled PS with no success.

I will try to run Wine on another Linux distro to see if I can reproduce this
problem. I'll post the results here.

BTW, I'm only having this problem in PokerStars. All other programs that I have
used (Shareaza, Firefox, Thunderbird) so far don't seem to have this problem.
If anybody can give me some freeware downloads to test this with, I'd gladly
appreciate it.

It seems like this is distribution specific. It runs cleanly on Kubuntu with
the msttcorefonts package, I guess there's no equivalent in Sabayon's Portage
system. I'm closing this bug as invalid
