[SOLVED] Text poor in Wine
« on: May 01, 2010, 08:04:17 AM »
When I run Wine the text is heavily pixelated.  Is there a way to correct this?

TIA,

mikkl

To enable smoothed fonts in Wine you will need to run regedit and change these settings.

REGEDIT4

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop]
"FontSmoothing"="2"
"FontSmoothingType"=dword:00000002
"FontSmoothingGamma"=dword:00000578
"FontSmoothingOrientation"=dword:00000001

You may also want to install the free windows core fonts and even the Tahoma font. Most Linux/Unix operating systems come with nice fonts also such as the Liberation font set.

Wine has supported font smoothing, including subpixel since wine 1.1.12.
