I recently reinstalled this system with Ubuntu 8.10 and its inbuilt Wine 1.0.1. I then added the budgededicated.com repo to get the fortnightly snapshots. A string of registry changes enabled smoothed fonts for me: http://forum.winehq.org/viewtopic.php?p=20061&sid=6fbbcf362e44a66b310ef88f631c83f5 However, it's deeply problematic that I had to do this at all instead of it Just Working when Wine was updated. This is just broken. - d.
