Hi all:
This problem is very old but I only started to bother now since
more serious problems seem to be OK - well at least for now -
who knows what will happen when the next tar ball is ready to
be released ;-)
This still happens with cvs010626 with a VB3 program designed
to work on NT4/W2k down to Win3.1.
In a text window the Helvetica font appears to have a normal body
height but the EmHeight is far taller. So the line spacing is
far too wide.
Interestingly Helvetica is mapped to Arial in this window.
With mappings from MS Sans Serif to Helvetica, MS Serif to
Helvetica and System to Helvetica like in other parts
of the window everything is OK.
CreateFontIndirectW returns with (-13 0 0 0) which seems to
be OK. GetTextExtentPoint16 and -32A return a font height
of 14 point, which is also OK. Anyway the font is displayed
far too high.
The problem is the same with managed or desktop.
I tried to map TTF-Arial to Arial with the same result.
Only with this mapping the tooltips are not readable anymore.
Tried other fonts as well - no cure.

the wine log with +relay,+font can be found here:

Please feel free to tell me if you rather prefer to have me
posting excerpts of the log to this newsgroup.
Regards, Ike

But I have seen this same effect in the Netscape and Mozilla compose windows, if my 100dpi fonts were listed first in the xfs configuration, but the X server was set for 75 dpi. This regardless of whether the compose window was using a 100dpi font or a TT font. When I changed the X server to tell it to use 100 dpi (or listed the 75 dpi font first in xfs), the problem went away. Duane

Will later see if it disappears with XFree86-4.x and without xfstt. Regards, Ike
