Wine text cant read

[dhtj]

Hi all!
I installed wine 4 days ago and I play CS 1.6 without problems
But my wine menu, and menus of progs mounted with wine is wooking
like this:

Mine looks exactly the same...

exact same problem as well

[mister_k81]

Yup, same issue as well...

My only solution is to go into the "Configure Wine" (winecfg) options menu, click on the Graphics tab and turn up the screen resolution dpi slider. Anything under 150dpi for me looks garbled and unreadable. Also, I should say that I'm using Ibex...I never used to have this problem with Hardy.

Ok, I investigated this a bit more, and Wine seems to have a problem rendering the tahoma font properly.

I don't know of any real solutions to fix this, but what I did instead was replace the "tahoma.ttf" and "tahomabd.tff" files (located in: "/usr/share/wine/fonts") with "DejaVuSans.ttf" and "DejaVuSans-Bold.ttf" that I copied and pasted from: /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-dejavu. I also had to rename: DejaVuSans.ttf and DejaVuSans-Bold.ttf to: tahoma.ttf and tahomabd.ttf.

It's a cheap trick... but it works anyway.

This helped me.
6.19. Using wine over remote X11 sessions and No text or damaged text displayed

Please make sure not have added any fonts to wine. Font conflicts can sometimes cause a similar issue. If a fresh wine prefix.(A copy of wine that nothing has been done to yet) Is having this problem. Try setting following in registry

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

Place above in text file and it can be inserted into registry by "regedit settings.txt".

I also am having the same problem with wine & codewavers.

I have tried everything and still have the same problem.

I reverted all the fonts I changed back to their defaults and tried this. It worked! Thanks.

I can't read enough to try the above suggestions, my text is garbled/flickers on for a split second only when I click it.

Is there anything else I can try?

P.S. I have a fresh wine install on AMD 64 bit Intrepid.
