AbiWord 0.9 problems even with latest Wine from CVS

[Dan Kegel]

The AbiWord win32 0.9 problems I described recently on
wine-users with Codeweavers Preview 4 also happen
with the latest Wine built from CVS this afternoon.
These problems don't happen when run on Windows, nor
when running the native Linux version; they therefore appear
to be Wine bugs.

Details at http://www.kegel.com/wine/abiword0.9/readme.html

I stand ready and willing to apply and test patches,
but might not have time to write any fixes myself.

Thanks,
Dan

On the "Y step wrong when displaying more than one of text"
problem, I added trace+font to the log.  Result is at
http://www.kegel.com/wine/abiword0.9/log5.tar.gz
File it was loading is at http://www.kegel.com/wine/abiword0.9/foo3.txt
Notepad has no problems, it's just AbiWord.

Dan,

what effort is it to crosscompile AbiWord with either mingw32/cygwin or even
perhaps with winelib? Active debugging is probably best done with a
compilable source tree at hand.

Sorry, I wasn't exact: I meant compile on Linux to a windows executable or a
winelib executable.

I get the impression it's painful to do a Windows build of AbiWord
even on Windows.  The thought of doing a winelib build had
occurred to me, but I don't know if I have the energy.

I am poking around their source tree trying to learn how they space
their lines, and am looking at the Wine source tree to learn what
trace options would be most interesting.  I found "trace+font"
last night.  So far I don't understand enough to feel like I'm
getting traction, but maybe if I keep plugging away...
