Hmm..
Looks strikingly similar to the label issue with Poser I'm looking at. http://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-devel/2005-December/043615.html I haven't had a chance to look at it deeper, but I think the issue lies somewhere in the CreateDIBSection -> DoCopyDIBSection areas.
Would you be so kind to post the gdi+ sample executable somewhere? I'd like to compare traces and see if we're hitting on the same issue here.(Tried compiling myself, but VC6 seems to hate the new platform SDK ;-) )
Cheers Vik
After some more investigations, it seems like this is a GDI+ problem. I've tried a very simple GDI+ demo (http://www.codeproject.com/vcpp/gdiplus/gdi__and_mfc.asp), which draws a line, ellipse and a rectangle. The, I added this text output, copied directly from http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/gdicpp/GDIP...:
FontFamily fontFamily(L"Times New Roman"); Font font(&fontFamily, 24, FontStyleRegular, UnitPixel); PointF pointF(30.0f, 10.0f); SolidBrush solidBrush(Color(255, 0, 0, 255));
graphics.DrawString(L"Hello", -1, &font, pointF, &solidBrush);
This works perfectly in Windows, but with Wine, no text appears! See screnshot http://www.cendio.se/~peter/tmp/gdiplus-windows.png versus http://www.cendio.se/~peter/tmp/gdiplus-wine.png.
It seems very strange to me that such a basic concept like drawing a string with GDI+ doesn't work with Wine. Isn't this a common task?
