They day I have been waiting for... Its confirmed! Wine 1.7.49 is now fully compatible with dwrite in WinSteam Now you don't have to use the argument: -no-dwrite to fix the missing fonts in Steam I know most of you just use the PlayOnLinux Steam package, but all of my guides download Steam from the steampowered.com website. Even the package requires a dwrite override in Wine, but it automatically sets it for you. I just tested it today and Steam works perfectly! I will be using 1.7.49 & 1.7.49-staging from now on for Steam.
Yeah this is a big fix in 1.7.49, other issues have relation with vertex blending on death to spies and death to spies moment of truth and fix for singles 2
Well, I installed Skyrim on my other Mint 17.1 computer and the font problem is still there. Can you confirm that fonts are working out-of-the-box with Wine 1.7.49?
Curiously i dont test dwrite improvement but testing now and dont fix in my case too (-nodwrite needed too)
Dang, that is what I was afraid of. I noticed that if you use the "-no-dwrite" argument in PlayOnLinux when you launch Steam, then remove the argument, the fonts still work. Not sure what it means, but for now, we still need it set.
I just installed Remember Me with Steam this last weekend and never entered Code: -no-dwrite in PlayOnLinux Arguments. I'm using Wine 1.7.51-staging There is a chance it has been fixed with the newest staging version of Wine.
