            Bug ID: 50796
           Summary: Replace legacy bitmap fonts (i.e. coure.fon) with
                    scalabe fonts (i.e. Courier New)
           Product: Wine
           Version: 6.4
          Hardware: x86-64
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: gdi32
          Assignee: wine-bugs at winehq.org
          Reporter: ulrich.gemkow at ikr.uni-stuttgart.de
      Distribution: ---

wine uses for some legacy font names old bitmapped fonts (i.e. coure.fon for
Courier)

Some old postscript centric apps still use the original Postscript font names
(i.e. "Courier") in templates and as default font in some scenarios.

These old bitmapped fonts are mostly unusable with current common display
resolutions, their resolution is much to small and they render unreadable.

I would suggest to replace the old bitmapped fonts with current scalable fonts
(i.e. coure.fon -> New Courier). I understand that I do not fully see the
implications but maybe its time to retire these old fonts.

[For me its not a problem, I have since some years patches to replace the old
bitmapped fonts].

Thanks for considering.
