[SOLVED] Wine fonts garbled

[[censored]]

Please Help! Since upgrading to Intrepid, wine fonts have become unreadable. (See attached screenshot)

The problem goes away if I raise wine's dpi above 140, but unfortunately, if I do that, wine windows become too big to fit on my screen.

I am using wine-1.1.10, 1.1.10~winehq0~ubuntu~8.10-0ubuntu.

I have an 1152x864@75Hz resolution.

Video card is a GeForce4 MX 4000, with the standard pty drivers nvidia-glx-96, 96.43.09-0ubuntu1.

I have tried installing all fonts and ms core fonts using the winetricks script.

I have msttcorefonts installed via apt-get.

hi, try uninstalling the nvidia hardware driver version 96 that you probably installed shortly after installing 8.10 then restart the computer.it worked for me.

union two levers,

thanks. But if I uninstall nvidia, I won't have 3d graphics. Isn't that so?

I'm having the same problem. Tried clean installs, msttcorefonts, disabling compiz effects, and all that good stuff. Deactivating the NVidia restricted driver fixes this but it is a horrible solution. I have to have wine. Does anybody know how to fix this?

Here's a link to the launchpad bug report.

Here is the fix.

Go to the .wine directory in your home folder (make sure you have view hidden files enabled). Creat a new document called 'settings.txt'. Paste the following line into this file:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\X11 Driver]
"ClientSideWithRender"="N"

Open a terminal and do the following


cd ~/.wine
regedit settings.txt

That's it!

Thank you ever so much Bakon Jarser! Will look on launchpad for solutions in future.

Hello from me too. I had the exact same font problem and I followed the proposed solution.
The problem now is that the toolbar icons in Thunderbird portable are not visible (see attached screenshot)

any ideas on how to solve this?

Thanks in advance!

[Eric Qel-Droma]

Thank you so much for this, Bakon Jarser. Very helpful!

[Chris Weaver]

Worked for me too. Using the Nvidia driver. Thanks for that.

[davygravy]

Yes! woooohooo! Fixed.

I did this and it helped the fonts in winecfg - they now render perfectly. But when I run word 2007 the fonts in the document are still garbled. Particularly times new roman.


Thanks
