Re: How to enable font anti-aliasing in Wine?
2009/3/15 Roderick Colenbrander : ... A string of registry changes enabled smoothed fonts for me: http://forum.winehq.org/viewtopic.php?p=20061&sid=6fbbcf362e44a66b310ef88f631c83f5 I was already using FontSmoothing=2 which was some improvement over nothing, but I didn't know these other settings. FontSmoothingType=2 made things much better, the others didn't seem to have any effect. However, I then discovered that with FontSmoothingType=2, a Java app I run in Wine crashes when it opens. :( The interesting item out of the Java stack trace is: Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: 0 incompatible with Text-specific LCD contrast key Quite why Java is getting involved at this level I don't really know. Running on Windows with the same font smoothing settings it works fine. Puzzling ...

Wine+Java+Nvidia crashes
I'm running a Java app built for Windows (therefore needs Wine), and on a machine with Nvidia graphics it crashes when it tries to draw the main window. The exact same application and OS configuration on a different machine with Intel graphics works fine. It crashes in wined3d, although the application is only drawing plain windows and dialogs - it looks like Java awt always calls d3d9 which call wined3d :(. Relevant console output from wine is shown below, plus the stack from the app's error log. OS is Ubuntu 8.10, Wine ver. 1.1.16 on both machines. On the faiing machine the graphics is Nvidia GPU 5200 series, screen size 1280x1024. I have tried both with the accelerated Nvidia driver v.173, and with the standard Linux driver, it makes no difference. The machine that works is an Asus Eee 901 netbook, Intel graphics on 1024x600 screen. Both machines have 2GB RAM. Wine console output: fixme:d3d:WineD3D_ChoosePixelFormat Add OpenGL context recreation support to SetDepthStencilSurface fixme:heap:RtlCompactHeap (0x11, 0x0) stub fixme:d3d:WineD3D_ChoosePixelFormat Add OpenGL context recreation support to SetDepthStencilSurface fixme:d3d:WineD3D_ChoosePixelFormat Add OpenGL context recreation support to SetDepthStencilSurface # # An unexpected error has been detected by Java Runtime Environment: # # EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION (0xc005) at pc=0x7d9c25c2, pid=8, tid=37 # # Java VM: Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (11.2-b01 mixed mode, sharing windows-x86) # Problematic frame: # C [wined3d.dll+0x725c2] Stack trace: Stack: [0x0389,0x0399], sp=0x0398de48, free space=1015k Native frames: (J=compiled Java code, j=interpreted, Vv=VM code, C=native code) C [wined3d.dll+0x725c2] C [wined3d.dll+0xaf2a0] C [d3d9.dll+0x12957] C [awt.dll+0xad577] C [awt.dll+0x9c60c] C [user32.dll+0xb06aa] C [user32.dll+0xb0afa] ... I've heard that wined3d and Nvidia don't play well together, but I don't know why this problem only shows up when running a Java app. Everything else I use works fine.

String expansion (%n %t)
Is there a Windows string function that expands escape sequences such as %n, %t, etc, and which is replicated by Wine? I ask because I have a Windows app that is screwing up because of something like this. It has a private .ini settings file, and some settings are stored in that kind of format, but when it runs on Wine they are wrongly retrieved (this is a 3rd party app, I don't have the source). It looks horribly like %n is being expanded to NL instead of CR-NL. If there's a Windows/Wine function for this then I might be able to use a native DLL to get round it, but I've no idea where it might reside! AFAIK GetPrivateProfileString() doesn't do this expansion inherently. Also if it is the case that the behaviour's different, then I would say it's a Wine bug. Any ideas appreciated. Rick
