           Summary: Wine 0.9.41 and later can't match "Arial" default font
                    face
           Product: Wine
           Version: 0.9.43.
          Platform: PC-x86-64
               URL: http://rayfract.com/trial/RAYTRIAL.EXE
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: major
          Priority: P2
         Component: wine-x11driver
        AssignedTo: wine-bugs at winehq.org
        ReportedBy: info at rayfract.com

Wine 0.9.41 and later on SUSE 10.0 and openSUSE 10.2 resolve default "Arial"
font face to Courier-like Serif font. If there are TrueType .ttf fonts
installed in drive_c/windows/fonts, Wine resolves "Arial" to these graphical
symbol TrueType fonts instead, and winecfg and Rayfract(R) trial window text
becomes unreadable.

See e.g. Surfer 8 demo, http://www.golden.com . This installs TrueType fonts.

After configuring fonts for menus, title bars, message boxes and hints as "MS
Sans Serif" with winecfg 0.9.43, Rayfract trial text is readable. But Windows
text font and common dialog font (open file etc.) is not configurable with
winecfg and still is unreadable. Also, winecfg text is still shown as Surfer
symbols and unreadable.

After deleting these TrueType .ttf files in drive_c/windows/fonts, winecfg and
Raytrial work, but "Arial" window text and common dialog font is now resolved
to a Courier-like Serif font.

"Arial" was resolved fine to Sans Serif font for Wine 0.9.40 and earlier, even
with TrueType fonts installed in drive_c/windows/fonts .

Thanks for your time with this,

Siegfried.
