What determines how the preferred fonts are set? Is it in the registry?
Can they be changed?
I'm asking because I recently installed the new wine-0.9.12-mdk and was
surprised at the way the order of preferred fonts changed when compared
with the older wine that was supplied with Mandriva-2006.
By removing fonts one at a time from the drive_c/windows/fonts
directory I could see the order of fonts that was preferred for the
Forte-Agent newsreader's menu-bar.
With the Mandriva-2006 wine (mid-2005 vintage, I think) Agent's order
of preference was : "Arial", "Arial bold", "Arial
Italic", "System",
then the fonts in alphabetical order.
But with the new wine, the preferences changed to: "MS Sans Serif",
"Arial", "Arial bold", "Arial Italic", then
alphabetical order.
I was a bit surprised at that. And I don't like "MS Sans Serif"
because
it has no anti-aliasing. So what made that go to the top of the list?
