Summary: Fixed width font fields in Windows are variable width in
WINE
Product: Wine
Version: CVS
Platform: PC
URL: http://notetab.com/
OS/Version: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: wine-gui
AssignedTo: wine-bugs at winehq.com
ReportedBy: kirby at earthlink.net
Fixed width font fields in Windows are variable width in WINE. You can verify
this by opening up NOTEPAD.EXE in Wine. Instead of the fixed
width (teletype/courier) font for displaying characters in the text field,
Wine supplies a variable width solution. This is only a minor problem when
using NOTEPAD.EXE. But it is a major problem when using software that assumes
a fixed width font. This pertains specifically to my favorite text editor,
NoteTab Pro. It runs very well with WINE except that it renders the text (and
the blinking cursor) incorrectly because it expects a fixed width text field
but Wine supplies a variable width font. I would love to be able to use
NoteTab Pro under Linux, but it is not very enjoyable unless this kink is
worked out.
thanks,
