Regression in wineconsole

[Tony Lambregts]

Lately I have been having a problem with wineconsole spitting out the 
following errors and failing to load.

err:wineconsole:WCUSER_SetFont wrong font
err:wineconsole:WCUSER_SetFont wrong font
err:wineconsole:WCUSER_SetFont wrong font
err:wineconsole:WCUSER_SetFont wrong font
err:wineconsole:WINECON_Fatal Couldn't find a decent font, aborting

I had the stock RedHat 7.2 fonts loaded as well as the stock ms-windows 
when I first got this error. Now I have installed the XFree86 font from 
Ximian and it still cannot find a "decent" font. At this point with 
several hundred fonts to choose from I am suprised that it could not 
find one that it liked.

In the past (upto the middle of November) wineconsole was quite happy 
with "clean 10".  Does anyone have a suggestion on what should I do.

does the font server use the old fonts ? or only the newest ones ?
the issue we have here is with freetype (or the wine interface) which
doesn't see fixed size fonts as fixed size fonts

To start off this is not an issue for me any more. The patch that broke 
it for me  was this one.

In the mean time it was either fixed by a later patch or something that 
I did. I.E.,  I did a "make clean" and reinstalled last night. Also 
there was a patch to xfont.c  in the last couple of days if I recall 
corectlly.  So I don't really know for sure what fixed it. I could find 
out for sure if you want <shrug>
