Bug ID: 39913 Summary: win16 regression: fonts broken in several ways Product: Wine Version: 1.9.0 Hardware: x86 OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: major Priority: P2 Component: -unknown Assignee: wine-bugs@winehq.org Reporter: curaga@operamail.com Distribution: ---
Created attachment 53303 --> https://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=53303 Screenshot showing both good and bad results.
After upgrading to 1.9.0 from 1.3.0, the fonts in Stars! broke in several ways. Screenshot attached.
Nothing else changed on the system - same libraries and same fonts are installed for both Wine versions. I realize it's a wide version gap, but with Wine builds taking 15 min each, I'm afraid I don't have the time right now to bisect closer.
1. The wrong font is picked. Wine 1.3.0 and several previous versions picked the same, correct font as real Win 3.11.
2. The font's height is calculated wrong, leaving only part of the text visible.
3. Spaces are sometimes replaced with boxes.

I don't think it's offically supported or suggested. But one guy is doing regression testing so that he starts the games/applications with different POL builds and marks the version that it works and then runs the regression testing. It's faster to download or use several pol builds than compiling wine. Also I have considered to have local copy of different wine versions compiled. Regression testing would be faster to just run the applicatios with different wines.

FWIW, I can't reproduce this in 1.9.0, but that could be because I have the MS core fonts installed systemwide.

--- Comment #6 from Bruno Jesus 00cpxxx@gmail.com --- I can't reproduce it too and I don't have core fonts installed. From your screenshot it looks like a different font is being used.
Did you try again in a clean prefix to ensure it is not a font substitution problem from your old prefix?

Installing to a clean prefix, it is still broken, see screenshot.
It picked a different wrong font, and now the color is wrong too.

I don't run a binary distro, so PoL wouldn't work.
@Rosanne
I thought regressions are always important? Especially when it's a 20 years old app, and win16 is considered done.

The major status means that a lot of applications are affected by the problem. So far this is the only application. Since I cannot reproduce the issue I can't help with the regression test.
What super man suggested is that you can try to narrow down the version where it stopped working by manually doing a binary search installing different versions of wine inside POL.

--- Comment #10 from Rosanne DiMesio dimesio@earthlink.net --- I notice you chose "Other" for your distro; exactly which one are you on?
https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=39913
--- Comment #11 from curaga@operamail.com --- Oh ok, then it's normal priority, thanks for the clarification.
I have to ask why is Wine trying to substitute fonts in the first place?
When a win16 app asks for Courier, it expects the bitmapped Courier from Win 3.11. Wine ships with them (cour*.fon). 1.3.0 and all previous versions I have used picked the bitmapped Courier, but 1.9.0 is trying to replace them with system TTF fonts, if I understand right.

I don't think it's a duplicate of that bug, since I'm not trying to use a systemwide font, but the one shipped with Wine. Which worked fine in 1.3.0, 1.1.* and 0.9.*.

trace:font:init_freetype FreeType version is 2.3.5
That version is 8 years old, and could be the reason why none of us can reproduce the problem. You might want to try upgrading Freetype.

From my point of view, a different font is used instead of Arial in both
systems. Unfortunately for you, default font selection method was changed between 1.3.0 and 1.8.0. Could you try to install MS core fonts, i.e. "winetricks corefonts"?

This machine is dedicated to this one game. If I could only find a Wine version where everything works, I'd freeze it altogether. So far every Wine version has some bug or other.
That said, I can try it later, but I doubt it'd fix Wine's font selection problem, it might only fix the rendering issue.
Could you try to install MS core fonts
Sure. Installing the MS fonts made Wine use them, but the app is still broken. I'm attaching both a screenshot and the new font debug log.

You upgraded from a very old Wine version (1.3.0) to a very modern one, without updating dependencies. It's not Wine's fault if the dependent libraries are out of date.
If you want to freeze things, why not leave Wine at 1.3.0 with Freetype 2.3.5 and call it a day?

Because 1.3.0, as every version before it, had rendering bugs with this app. This rendering bug is fixed in 1.9.0, but now fonts are broken.

--- Comment #24 from curaga@operamail.com --- Created attachment 53353 --> https://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=53353 +font log with 1.9, MS fonts, and latest freetype
I updated to freetype 2.6.2, the latest, and most font issues are gone. There are two remaining, both not on the main interface.
1) The rotated text in the score dialog (open via F10 or from the menu) is still unreadable. See rotatedtext.png.
2) The tooltip's background color is wrong. Open the tooltip by holding the left mouse button on one of the planet's minerals. See tooltip.png.

Created attachment 53354 [details] Score dialog showing bad rotated font rendering
This is as bad as in XP, I just tested. So I don't think it is an issue.
(In reply to curaga from comment #26)
Created attachment 53355 [details] Tooltip background is wrong
I can confirm that this is an issue, in XP the background is white while in wine it is grey.
These problems were also present in wine 1.3, right?
https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=39913
--- Comment #28 from curaga@operamail.com --- No, the rotated text was readable in both Win 3.11 and Wine 1.3.0. If it's bad in XP, that's Microsoft's fault :P
The tooltip problem was present in Wine 1.3.0, so that one is not a regression.

The tooltip problem was present in Wine 1.3.0, so that one is not a regression.
Both of those are separate issues from what was originally reported here, and should have separate bugs.
Based on comment 24, the problem was in the old version of Freetype, and has been fixed in newer versions, so marking NOTOURBUG.
