Hi there, has anybody been able to work around the poor rendering of Wine app system fonts with the new freetype2 2.7?

Bad rendering with new freetype2:

Hi
You need to look at changing the defaults by the look for Wine;

Hmm, could you please explain what you’re recommending I change? Thanks.

Hi
Have a look at the previous post in the thread I linked to has a user example when using wincfg.

Systemwide look at YaST -> System -> Fonts.

Hi, the user is example is by me. :slight_smile: I know how to disable the entire new freetype2 rendering mode, but I don’t want to enable it across the system with an environment variable, because it works well aside from Wine.

YaST Fonts also doesn’t improve anything.

Hi
Ahh, now the penny drops :wink:

If you use IRC, jump on #opensuse-gnome and have a chat with DimStar direct, he may be able to help…?
