So I’ve been recently trying to run some applications via wine (7.0-rc5, according to wine --version). I’ve tried winetricks corefonts and winetricks settings fontsmooth=rgb, but the font in wine remains a bitmap font, not a smoothed out one. For example here’s winecfg:
For both winetricks commands I set the environment variables WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=~/.wine. Any tips on how to get nice smoothed-out fonts in wine applications? Thanks!
One note: when I set in winecfg Graphics>DPI >= 168, I get smooth fonts, but that font size is much too big to use on my display. Also have AUR ttf-ms-fonts installed.
btw, i see 0 reasons to use win32 prefixes this days, unless you absolutely require it, most things works perfectly with x64 so maybe try to create another x64 prefix and test if fontsmoothing works there
my internal laptop panel I’m not sure. my external monitor is a 24" 1920x1200 Dell monitor, but I think it’s not the issue.
Originally I tried with a 64-bit prefix, but then wine started complaining about “use at your own risk” or something so I just switched to 32-bit; Thanks for the tip!
