Bug #: 31385 Summary: Font in Delphi 3 apps change to "System" after open Report preview. Product: Wine Version: 1.5.10 Platform: x86 OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: minor Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: julio_lists@mebamutual.com.ar Classification: Unclassified
Created attachment 41242 --> http://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=41242 Minimal Delphi app that shows the bug
I'm testing an in-house app written en Delphi 3, the only really annoying glitch I have found so far happens after a QuickReport preview windows opens.
The Preview and works OK, but then any label drawn in the app uses the System font.
The effect is akin to bug #29758, but my logs don't include the error reported there.
Instead, I guess Wine is messing somewhat within the WM_GETFONT and/or WM_SETFONT calls, yet my debugging abilities are pretty limited.
WM_GETFONT calls aren't returning NULL, but decimal 504, I wonder if that WM_SETFONT takes that as an invalid handle.
I'm attaching a minimal (kind of, the binary is pretty big) test case.

--- Comment #1 from Mario Guerra mguerra13@gmail.com 2013-05-13 10:10:56 CDT --- I can confirm this bug, also with Delhi4 and Delphi 7. I discovered tthat the problem is with the default font that Delphi uses with forms. It is a fixed font: "MS Sans Serif", that in certain circunstances (when the font is freeded) is not correctly load again by the executable.
There are two possible workarounds to try: - To copy the files *.fon from a Windows machine to Wine - If you have the Delphi sources, change the font on all the visual components to a different (ttf) font like Arial. I also found that changing the TForm default font, for example, to Arial distorts the forms metrics.

--- Comment #2 from Austin English austinenglish@gmail.com --- This is your friendly reminder that there has been no bug activity for over a year. Is this still an issue in current (1.7.37 or newer) wine? If so, please attach the terminal output in 1.7.37 (see http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#get_log).
