All text replaced by empty squares in Wine
Last modified: 2010-08-05 13:00:19 EDT
Created attachment 414682 [details] Example of fonts being replaced by empty squares. Description of problem: Wine fonts are replaced by empty boxes in the new release of Wine. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 1.1.44-3.fc12 How reproducible: Always I've tried this on two i686 machines with different hardware, they both showed the issue. If I remove and reinstall all of the involved packages the issue recurs. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Make sure you're running version 1.1.44-3.fc12 (You might have to enable the testing repo) 2. Start any wine application which doesn't define its own fonts (winecfg exhibits the issue) Actual results: Characters are replaced by empty boxes, which I take to mean the font can't be found. Shown in the attachment. Expected results: Text should show as normal Additional info: It seems to have something to do with the fact that in this release of wine, work has gone into splitting the wine fonts up into several packages such as wine-small-fonts for example; the previous release only has a single package called wine-fonts which I presume contains all of them. Reverting to the previous release fixes the issue.
There are multiple issues at work here. Do you have the wine meta package installed you did you select the packages by yourself?
I have tried both. The issue originally occurred through a natural update through kpackagekit.
Could you post two things: 'rpm -qa | grep font | sort' and 'WINEDEBUG=font winecfg 2> font'

There's no output in the console.
It creates a file 'font' in the directory from which you execute the command. The file contains the needed output so just attach it here (maybe zipped).

Over 20K lines of debug output created with winecfg from wine-common-1.1.44-4.fc14.noarch is now attached.
(In reply to comment #6) > I encountered the same font issue. > I resolved it with winetricks: > > ./winetricks corefonts > ./winetricks tahoma Perhaps running "WINEDEBUG=font winecfg 2> font" on your system, gzipping the file "font", and attaching that here, might help in pinpointing this problem (as that will show the debug output for a case where fonts are correctly detected).

It was before winetricks ! Here is after winetricks.

Thanks for submitting the needed information. I am sure as to what is causing these problems now. I will see if I can get it fixed.
(In reply to comment #12) > I will see if I can get it fixed. Looks fixed in wine-*-1.2.0-2.fc15.*
It is fixed for me since the first release candidate of wine 1.2.0. Wine 1.2.0 (stable release) and 1.3.0 (development release) have this font issue fixed in Fedora 13.
Thanks for the feedback.
