Created attachment 423667 [details] comparison tahoma installed/ not installed In wine 1.2.0-0.2.rc2.fc13 the tahoma font seems to have been removed. Unfortunately this breaks some applications which rely on the exact properties of tahoma, as the replacement chosen has different character widths. I'm trying to use RegiStax V5.1 (available from http://www.astronomie.be/registax/setupregistax5_1.exe ) and without the tahoma font the layout is broken in many places, making it very hard to use registax with wine. I guess that the also missing sse*.fon break other applications. I have attached an image showing the difference between tahoma installed and tahoma not installed.
Still present with 1.2.0-1.fc13

Could you try with a clean ~/.wine folder. I have revised the patches and as you can see from my screenshot cannot reproduce this.
I can reproduce your screenshot with a clean ~/.wine folder. This also has to be done when updating from a wineprefix created in 1.1.38-1.fc13. I would call this step unacceptable. What's still different from the "original" (with tahoma) is the line "File Version…" which seems to use a bigger font size now compared with the original tahoma.
I know that this is not the perfect solution. But currently there is no other way except to force a registry change by adding a little magic somewhere which would break things for people who install tahoma manually. I will see to write a registry file which changes the relevant values and will be shipped and pointed to in the documentation so that existing installations can be upgraded by running the reg file via regedit.
"This also has to be done when updating from a wineprefix created in 1.1.38-1.fc13. I would call this step unacceptable. " It is fully acceptable. 1.1 is unstable alpha software and upgrades from it can not be guarantied. If this problem occurs with upgrades from 1.0.X then it is unacceptable. Does it? Cant this problem be solved by just shipping WineTahoma and whatever other free fonts that are included in Wine? Also it would be prefered to have WineTahoma as a globally available font, not just limited to Wine applications.
The problem is a result of the removal of WineTahoma. It currently cannot be shipped with the wine packages. Removal is not the only solution as I pointed out in comment 5. I will try to get the registry file setup within the next couple of days.
"The problem is a result of the removal of WineTahoma. It currently cannot be shipped with the wine packages." Why?
This message is a reminder that Fedora 13 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 13. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '13'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 13's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 13 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 13 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2011-06-25. Fedora 13 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
