wineconsole.log
Wine compiled without ncurses.
When wineconsole is started, it shows white boxes instead of font. Log with
WINEDEBUG=+wineconsole attached.
This code is from 2002:
programs/wineconsole/user.c : line 442
/* FIXME:
* the current freetype engine (at least 2.0.x with x <= 8) and its
implementation
* in Wine don't return adequate values for fixed fonts
* In Windows, those fonts are expected to return the same value for
* - the average width
* - the largest width
* - the width of all characters in the font
* This isn't true in Wine. As a temporary workaround, we get as the width of
the
* cell, the width of the first character in the font, after checking that all
* characters in the font have the same width (I hear paranoia coming)
* when this gets fixed, the code should be using tm.tmAveCharWidth
* or tm.tmMaxCharWidth as the cell width.
*/
I tried comment font checking, then output is better, but font isn't
fixed-width (still smaller issue than white boxes instead of font).
In Ubuntu 12.04 is freetype 2.4.8, so IMHO we can rely on 2.4 series + ncurses
is default, so we can go ahead and fix it.
