Wine screenshot

The font size in some forms of the "DCI Reporter" application is too small in
Wine (6 instead of 8 in Windows). That makes the forms unreadable. The
screenshot (partially sloshed to hide confidential data).

The fonts look fine in your screenshot. Plaese try to adjust screen resolution
in winecfg.

I attach a sceenshot from Windows to compare. Notice that font size in Windows
is the same for both top and underneath forms. But in Wine they are different.
In Wine the application fills its top form with font size 6 instead of 8. That
is the bug. If it will be fixed, there is no need to change screen resolution.

How do you recognize the font size between 6 and 8? Visually? Fonts in
the Wine screenshot look consistently to me, I don't see any problem there.

Have you tried to change the resolution in winecfg?

Yes. Did you mean i can't do that?

Did you laugh at me? Try to read last name of the second person from the
bottom. Or first name of the bottom one. Type the names here if you can!
> Have you tried to change the resolution in winecfg?

Yes, of course! This is the first thing that i try to do. And that don't solve
the trouble. See the third screenshot and tell me the full name of the first
person - if you can read it, heh!

Font sizes and readability

This is an example of font sizes affecting the text readability. Look at this
if you distrust that i can distinguish size 6 from 8.

Font of 6 points *can* look larger that a font of 8 points if screen
resolution in both cases are different. If changing screen resolution
in winecfg changes nothing for you then there is something wrong on
your end.

I doubt that there's something wrong on the reporter's end, because the fonts
looked very small to me too even on the installation screen. See for yourself:

Second screen

Second form shows up after clicking on "Exit" button. Notice that this one
looks ok.

If you compare 1st and 3rd attachments thoroughly, you can see that changing
the sreen resolution affects letters size in the below form but change nothing
with font in the top form. Notice also that with resolution changed the top
form is totally unusable (buttons are missed).

Yes, something is wrong... with Wine, because in Windows the application works
fine with any screen resolution.

Is this still an issue in current (1.1.32 or newer) wine?

[sarcasm mode on] No, it's not an issue anymore, because the "DCI Reporter"
doesn't work at all under Wine newer than 1.1.29.

Please file a separate bug for that, after running a regression test:

The with small fonts during installation still exists in WINE 1.1.42, but I
couldn't test the application itself, since I'm unable to install it (the bug
seems strange, before the installation it tries to create start menu items and
fails to create /DCI Reporter).

This is your friendly reminder that there has been no bug activity for 650
days. Is this still an issue in current (1.4 or newer) wine?
