.NET apps with mono... some testing.

[Jérôme Gardou]

Many .NET/C# apps don't work with the combination wine-mono.....

I've discovered that installing the arial32 from msttcorefonts solves a lot of 
problems, especially with graphical apps.

I've tested a few apps (supreme commander patches, fastmd5 (tested here 
http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10467 with native .NET...) and all of 
them worked quite well, although not quite beautiful.

mono-1.2.6 with gtksharp 2.10.2 . the latest available on mono website.

I'm trying to figure out why font rendering is so bad on gtk# applications. 
(try gtk theme manager... it's awful)

Some more feedback here.

Changing the key HKEY_CURRENT_CONFIG\Software\Fonts\LogPixels from 96 to 2 
changes everything. From enormous characters in gtk# programs, there is now a 
good size in those apps.

Obviously, this is not the good way to get it working.

This seems to be a problem not only for gtk#, but gtk in general. Latest
Gimp Stable (2.4.2) draws incredibly large letters. To make it work
(print anything besides empty boxes for glyphs), installation of MS Core
fonts is needed as well.

Hello!

The problem seems to reside in cairo. Please have a look at bug 7186.

Ciao and happy New Year!
