           Summary: Wine with freetype 2.7 causes font rendering issues
           Product: Wine
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: x86-64

                OS: Mac OS X
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: minor
          Priority: P2

With the latest XQuartz (2.7.11) that includes Freetype 2.7, Wine no longer has
smoothed text. I switched back to XQuartz 2.7.9 and the issue does not appear.


The reason I bring this up is that the XQuartz team says it's not their
problem; it's FreeType's problem. I go look on FreeType and discover that
Freetype 2.7 is more of a "3.0" than anything else, with a completely new
hinting system and defaults. They're not going to budge on that.

This is a bit of an odd report, as I don't really know what/who is the culprit
here. But it looks pretty bad if you're affected by it. in the URL field is a
link of two screenshots (as I can't attach two files). Top is normal, bottom is
with Freetype 2.7.
