improve fonts for all programs run under wine

Post by Subito Piano »

Just a couple tips and tricks i found both for font-smoothing and increasing/decreasing default font size for programs run under Wine (like TW!)

fonts smoothing: see this post
change default font size: over here

These should work for any distro -- idk about Mac but perhaps it would work (somebody with a Mac could try it and post their results here).

Blessings for your top-notch work. LOVE the maps!

I have the font problem under the latest WINE 1.5.10. The fonts smoothing script did not work. I am using Ubuntu 12.04. Any help would be appreciated.

Interesting! I just downgradeg to WINE 1.4 and the fonts are clear-- I believe WINE 1.5 must break something regarding fonts.

You could try renaming the .wine directory in your home directory and run the font smoothing program again. You'll have to install wine again to put it in the new directory and if it now works copy over the module folders.
