[Bug 17015] New: Sins of a Solar Empire: In-game fonts appear too large

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=17015

Summary: Sins of a Solar Empire: In-game fonts appear too large
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.1.12
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: minor
          Priority: P4
         Component: -unknown
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]

Single Player Game Setup (shows overlapping text)

All of the text in Sins of a Solar Empire, is rendered too large.  This applies
to the in-game HUD, annotations, and the menus.

I am not the first to find this bug, I first saw it here, with a bit of a
workaround.
http://forums.stardock.com/171844/page/4

The game has a Font directory that contains 4 .ttf files and 34 .font files. 
The .font files are just text and look like a way for the game to access a
named combination of a height and .ttf file.

This is an example of a .font file:

-----------
TXT
Font
                Height 28
                TypeFaceName "SinsAgencyBold"
-----------

SinsAgencyBold.ttf is in the Font directory.

This particular system of font indirection seems pretty straightforward and
non-OS-specific, so I don't think it is the main issue here.  At the end of the
forums.stardock.com link above, there is a workaround that involves editing the
Height values in the various .font files.

This workaround helps a bit, but it would be nice if it just worked like in
Windows! :)

Is this still an issue in current (1.1.26 or newer) wine?

I have version wine-1.1.25-63-g3ab8778 from git and it is still an issue.

I don't have 1.1.26 or newer yet, so I can't test it right now.  I'll post here
when I do.

This is your friendly reminder  that there has been no bug activity for a year.
Is this still an issue in current (1.2 or newer) wine

@Austin: yes it is still there. Tested with Wine 1.2 and Sins Diplomacy v1.00
(Trinity Edition)

According to one of the AppDB entries
(http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=19559), this is
because Windows falls back to using the font's filename instead of the font's
name, whereas Wine falls back to using the font's family (I think?).

The recommended workaround is to change the .font files to reference the Font
name, not the filename:
$ sed 's/SinsAgencyBold/AgencyFB-Bold/g' -i.bak Font/*.font
