However, before investigate on font issue deeply, could I ask here for other wine developers' work plan? Just half day after I post my previous email, Huw and Kusanagi have sent their patches regarding font support to wine-patch. we have multiple developers working on this area, to prevent duplicate work, could you tell me is anyone working on Font Association support?

Is it a good GSoC idea to improve font related testcase base on bitmap compares? Thank you! -- Regards, Qian Hong - Sent from Ubuntu http://www.ubuntu.com/
