Can I turn off freetype at runtime

[Bill Medland]

Is it possible to turn off the freetype use at runtime, e.g. by changing 
something in the config file?

Basically under SuSE several dialogs are drawing with 5 pixel text whereas 
under Windows they are about 9 pixel high (which I don't understand because I 
think that they should not exceed 8).  Under RedHat they are 7 pixel which 
are at least readable.

I hope that if I can turn off the freetype then on SuSE it will get the same 
font as on RedHat

I tried setting an Alias but it didn't make any difference; it still used the 
same font instead of the alias

I never tested it and do not know if it still works... But it certainly
sounds like it should do what you require :-)

Yup, that should work, setting both ClientSideWith* lines to "N" will
make Wine fall back to X11 fonts.
