I'm getting number of reports on #winehq as well as in bugzilla about new Ubuntu packages for 0.9.35 having problems with displaying text and mouse cursor. It appears there were some problems with xrandr during compiling them.
Scott could you take a look at this and fix them as soon as you can? Or at least remove broken packages from the repository?
Vitaliy.
The only change between this package and the previous one (0.9.34) was that I removed libarts1-dev as a build dependency. I'm using the same machine, build environment, and everything. If there's a problem, it's likely a Wine one.
I would venture to guess that the reason there seem to be so many Ubuntu problems is because we have so many Ubuntu users - as noted earlier, though, SuSE seems to have brokenness as well.
I did notice after running Winecfg something unexpected happened: it started profiling the fonts all over again like it was the first time I had run it. Something must have changed in this new version, and it might have broken older installs.
Does that help narrow it down?
Thanks, Scott Ritchie
I've tried 0.9.34 on a second suse 9.3 system ( identical system, same distro level ) and notepad works correctly. There is one difference between the two systems, the one that doesn't work has the c:\windows\fonts\ directory popoulated with windows truetype fonts and the non working fonts, such as couri.fon ( not sure if I spelled that correctly, but you get the idea ). However the system where notepad works ... it's c:\windows\fonts\ directory has no font files in it what so ever. Could wine be using these .fon fonts in c:\windows\fonts\ which it then can't display correctly ?.
I'll remove the .fon files from c:\windows\fonts\ on the non working system on Monday and see if that fixes notepad. Maybe something in wine changed that affected it's ability to display .fon fonts ..
