wine users - Apr 2009 - Garbled/blurred fonts.

I installed office 2007 using this howto over on the ubuntu forum
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1102840

Everything went great. The programs run and seem to work fine, except that the
old issue of wine not rendering fonts right occurs.

This issue is documented here
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1009930

The solution is to add
"ClientSideWithRender"="N"

to the registry. That works fine and makes the winecfg fonts display nicely, but
the fonts within the windows apps - such as word are still messed up.

I am not sure why this is.

Here is what they look like

I am running a nvidia graphics card fwiw.

Anyone have any suggestions..

Many thanks

I have a suggestion that might work. I don't use Windows anything, but this
works for Notepad.

Copy the text between the lines below into a file called regedit4.reg

-----------------------------------------
REGEDIT4

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop]
"FontSmoothing"="2"
"FontSmoothingType"=dword:00000002
"FontSmoothingGamma"=dword:00000578
"FontSmoothingOrientation"=dword:00000001

-----------------------------------------

Then in a terminal type 

wine regedit

In the drop-down Registry menu, hit Import Registry file, and navigate to where
you have saved regedit4.reg

Hit "Open" then quit the application.

Thanks for this suggestion.  It turns out however that the solution was more
simple.  I had installed the office programs not in /.wine but in
/.wine_office2007 and I was neglecting to use the wineprefix command to edit the
applicable registry entries.
