[Wine] Followup: SOLVED Re: Font display problem with Text in UML-Notes of Enterprise Architect (wine-1.1.3 in Ubuntu Hardy)

[Achim Spangler]

Hi again,
I was able to solve my problem with installation of the both native RichText 
Libraries. This URL pointed me to the solution:
http://ubuntu-virginia.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4614684

--> sh winetricks riched20 riched30
==> installs and activates both RichText NATIVE Libraries
--> now I can install and use EA without problem

Important:
The emulated Windows flavour should be WinXP (at least NOT Win98 - this is 
wrongly described at Sparx Systems).

So - the Wine-Internal replacement of both RichText Libraries have to be 
enhanced to support Enterprise Architect without native replacements.

Kind Regards,
Achim

Hi,
thanks for the idea - but it does not work.

I get the following debug output - filtered - I hope that this can help 
somehow:
Filtered output since program start:
fixme:richedit:RichEditWndProc_common WM_STYLECHANGING: stub
fixme:richedit:RichEditWndProc_common WM_STYLECHANGED: stub
fixme:font:GetCharacterPlacementW flags 0x00000012 ignored
fixme:font:GetCharacterPlacementW classes not implemented
err:richedit:CharAttr unknown font 0
fixme:richedit:RichEditWndProc_common EM_FORMATRANGE: stub
fixme:richedit:RichEditWndProc_common Unsupported yet non NULL device in 
EM_SETTARGETDEVICE
fixme:x11drv:X11DRV_SelectPen PS_USERSTYLE is not supported


The following output is generated while program window is refreshed (with 
diagram where the problematic note-text isn't displayed):
fixme:x11drv:X11DRV_SelectPen PS_USERSTYLE is not supported
fixme:richedit:RichEditWndProc_common EM_FORMATRANGE: stub
fixme:richedit:RichEditWndProc_common Unsupported yet non NULL device in 
EM_SETTARGETDEVICE
(these lines are printed in different order several times)


Question:
Can I try to set some suitable library overrides - maybe with installing some 
native libraries before?
- somehow crossover-office seems to handle this situation

Thanks,
Achim
