Summary: Wine 0.9.41 and later can't match "Arial" default font face Product: Wine Version: 0.9.43. Platform: PC-x86-64 URL: http://rayfract.com/trial/RAYTRIAL.EXE OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: major Priority: P2 Component: wine-x11driver AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: info@rayfract.com CC: info@rayfract.com
Wine 0.9.41 and later on SUSE 10.0 and openSUSE 10.2 resolve default "Arial" font face to Courier-like Serif font. If there are TrueType .ttf fonts installed in drive_c/windows/fonts, Wine resolves "Arial" to these graphical symbol TrueType fonts instead, and winecfg and Rayfract(R) trial window text becomes unreadable.
See e.g. Surfer 8 demo, http://www.golden.com . This installs TrueType fonts.
After configuring fonts for menus, title bars, message boxes and hints as "MS Sans Serif" with winecfg 0.9.43, Rayfract trial text is readable. But Windows text font and common dialog font (open file etc.) is not configurable with winecfg and still is unreadable. Also, winecfg text is still shown as Surfer symbols and unreadable.
After deleting these TrueType .ttf files in drive_c/windows/fonts, winecfg and Raytrial work, but "Arial" window text and common dialog font is now resolved to a Courier-like Serif font.
"Arial" was resolved fine to Sans Serif font for Wine 0.9.40 and earlier, even with TrueType fonts installed in drive_c/windows/fonts .
Thanks for your time with this,
Siegfried.
