Bug ID: 50127 Summary: Fonts are thin and pale Product: Wine Version: 5.21 Hardware: x86-64 OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: fonts Assignee: wine-bugs@winehq.org Reporter: mo78@abv.bg Distribution: ---

Hello, I have fonts problem with Wine 5.21. It took me some some time to figure it out but it occurs the problem appears only with Wine 5.21. The fonts are thin and pale in configuration windows. Applications are affected too.

Wine 5.21: https://i.imgur.com/6c9TkoO.png

Wine 5.20: https://i.imgur.com/915TRZF.png

As you see from the screenshots, there isn't such font problem with Wine 5.20. The problem is here only in Wine 5.21. All previous versions are working fine.

Please help me to resolve this problem. Thank you.

--- Comment #1 from Rafał Mużyło galtgendo@o2.pl --- Does WINEDEBUG=font offer any noteworthy hints (when you compare 5.20 and 5.21) ?

--- Comment #5 from mo78@abv.bg --- Can someone tell me which font is being used for this interface from the screenshots? Now I upgraded Wine in Linux Mint to version 5.21 and there isn't a problem. The ugly fonts are present only on Arch. It's may be from the newer version of the packages and fonts on Arch? Tell me which font should I downgrade to try if this fixes the issue. Thank you.

I observe the issue with core TTF fonts. I deliberately don't use the fonts which come with Wine (I simply delete them).

They are not "ugly and pale", they are now simply antialiased for you which you didn't have earlier in Wine 5.20.

--- Comment #11 from mo78@abv.bg --- Yes, you were right. I turned off Anti Aliasing and now Wine fonts are looking great but all others are very ugly :)

--- Comment #12 from Rafał Mużyło galtgendo@o2.pl --- I've looked again at my patch to a likely related issue that worked in 5.21, but stopped in 5.22, then at the code changes.

Then I've reverted changes between 5.21 and 5.22 in gdi32 - surprisingly the old patch still failed to work.

On an interesting note, it would seem that besides the change in get_glyph_index_linked that my patch addressed, there's one of the changes in 5.21 that looks odd: in 5.20 first two arguments sent to compute_metrics were font sent to freetype_get_glyph_outline and font computed by get_glyph_index_linked; afterwards it's base_font and font computed by get_glyph_index_linked (well, roughly, other than GGO_GLYPH_INDEX case). That's not quite the same.

The way things are looking, results highly depend on fonts installed on the system.

--- Comment #13 from mo78@abv.bg --- Yes they look different on different systems which is odd. I can't understand why they are ok on Mint but not on Arch. I don't know which font to install to get them fixed :(
