This sucks mightily on my 1600x1200 19" monitor, as it makes all the scaled fonts too small to read. If I manually create the HKLM/[System\\CurrentControlSet\\Hardware Profiles\\Current\\Software\\Fonts\\LoxPixels entry, and set it to 160, then most of the fonts (all save the menu bar fonts) are scaled a bit more reasonably.

There is more. Some dialogs' content is scaled and some is not. When it's scaled it looks like everything inside the window is scaled, but the window size is too small.

Wine did do so some time ago, but there are far too many broken user configurations around. - 1600 dots on a 19 inch display is theoretically 105 dpi. On a LCD panel that should be correct, if you are using a CRT monitor the value may be 120. - setting the LogPixels value is not the whole story. The fonts that you are laking about are stored HKCU\Control Panel\Desktop\WindowMetrics. Font sizes are device units: pixels. That means those fonts will not be affected by setting a different dpi, but the actual fontsizes must be adjusted. That is what happens on Windows when you change the dpi in the Display Properties applet. - Wine does not have that yet. For the moment you can try the Display Properties applet fom win98. "control /path/to/desk.cpl" works here enough to modify those font settings. Rein.

This still does not invalidate the meat of this bug - that the font choices Wine is making are unusable in many cases.

Ah, the meat of this bug report is then a duplication of a few others. Rein.

While that resolution works well for you, setting it to high on a small screen will make it completely unusable. Setting it low on the other hand is an annoyance, but doesn't break things and is easily fixed.

Steps to reproduce. 1) Via Regedit, unset HKLM/[System\\CurrentControlSet\\Hardware Profiles\\Current\\Software\\Fonts\\LoxPixels 2) set display DPI to 96 via "xrandr --dpi 96" 3) Run regedit, observe font sizes. 4) exit regedit 5) set display DPI to 200 via "xrandr --dpi 200" 6) Run regedit, observe font sizes. Expected result: Font sized should change. Actual results: Font sizes unchanged. I am pulling the latest GIT now, and will report when that build is done.
