I have a question about Wine's font handling. I am experiencing behavior in Wine that I don't believe is normal. At the very least, it is not desirable. Ever since the first time I installed Wine over a year ago and up until the present, I couldn't figure out why Wine would, seemingly at random, decide it had to rebuild the font metrics when starting a Windows app. And this takes a fair length of time on my older machine with quite a few MS fonts installed. Sometimes, I would go a week or more without it having to rebuild the font metrics; other times it would be almost after every reboot. I couldn't figure out a pattern. Until this morning. It seems to be Java related. Here's the sequence of events that will cause Wine to rebuild the font metrics for me. This is repeatable every time: 1) reboot 2) start a Java app - just starting the java console will do. 3) close the java app - the JVM process will still be running 4) start a Windows app in Wine 5) take a nap while the font metrics are built. So here's my question: Is this normal? Can anyone else reproduce this? If not, what could be causing this or what could I be doing wrong? Here's some current specifics: RH 8.0 with all updates Wine version 20030115 built from source Sun's JRE v1.4.4_01 The java dir is in the PATH and the JAVA_HOME env var is set. (Also happened with RH 7.3 with earlier Wine and Java versions but I hadn't connected the dots back then) Everything seems to work fine: Wine, Java, etc. It's just this frequent font rebuilding that drives me crazy. All help greatly appreciated. Thanks! _______________________________________________ wine-users mailing list wine-users@winehq.com http://www.winehq.com/mailman/listinfo/wine-users
