           Summary: Properly support using native X11 fonts at runtime
           Product: Wine
           Version: 0.9
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: other
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P3
         Component: wine-gui
        AssignedTo: wine-bugs at winehq.org
        ReportedBy: lamber45 at cse.msu.edu


AFAIK Wine doesn't use native X fonts at all right now;  it does everything 
with TrueType.  There are situations where it would be nice to use X fonts 
alongside TTF.  in particular,  X comes with a pretty good selection of
easy-to-read character-cell fonts in different sizes.  It would be nice if
PuTTY, Notepad, Visual Studio, etc.  could be configured to use them -- I
actually think they're easier to read than the standard Windows ones.

Ideally,  there would be a per-app registry entry for X11 fonts to import
and exclude.

Note that Wine originally used X11 fonts and did not support TrueType.
