[Bug 22984] New: winhelp: Corrupted/incorrectly-rendered italic text

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=22984

Summary: winhelp: Corrupted/incorrectly-rendered italic text
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.2-rc2
          Platform: x86
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: trivial
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]

I noticed this when viewing a specific help file in Wine winhlp32, but the
issue doesn't seem to be specific to that. Viewing it using winhlp32 from
Windows 98 under Wine shows a similar rendering issue, so the cause most
probably lies elsewhere. They both render the text incorrectly, but
differently.

Italic text does not render properly. View the attached license.hlp file in
Wine winhlp32. In the "4. SAMPLE CODE" and "5. REDISTRIBUTABLE COMPONENTS"
paragraphs, the second instance of "Microsoft Systems Journal" is supposed to
be rendered in italics (followed by "(MSJ)" which is not italic).

Bug 7520 may be related to this. But in this case, Wine could/should at least
render the text normally I think, rather than corrupted/garbled???

By the way in winhlp32.exe from Microsoft, version 5.00.2195.6601; it does not
render in italics either.

It does for me, not everything, but parts Mark mentioned in initial
description. For me it renders with aliasing, and italic looks synthesized, so
one can say it as garbled. Unfortunately no screenshots were attached when this
bug was reported.

Mark, could you please attach some images of this issue?

Created attachment 53088

Screenshot of winhlp32.exe from Windows XP, running in XP and running in wine

ok, so to be completely clear:
* I updated the exe of winhlp32.exe from MS to the XP one, and ran it under
wine-1.8-rc1-37-g1d19eb1 -> no italics. no bold either by the way.
* I opened licence.hlp directly from a XP virtual machine -> bold and italics.
See attached screenshot.

licence.hlp viewed using wine's winhlp32

And now the same part of the file, using wine's winhlp32

Please note that I am using a fresh bottle, no dll override (thus riched20 is
wine's, not microsoft's)

by the way, in order to be comprehensive, just tested using native riched20.dll
(dll from Windows XP). The result in wine (with both MS and wine's winhtlp32)
is quite the same.
