wine users - Jan 2009 - Problem getting subpixel AA font rendering to work

Hi... I'm running Debian 5 (Lenny) and using wine packages from
http://www.lamaresh.net/apt lenny main, which contains wine version 1.1.12.

I've installed MS Office 2003 without problems, but when I start up word the
fonts are choppy/blocky/what-have-you, but certainly not being AA.

I came across a thread on this forum that suggested adding a file to the
registry. I can do that on windows, but don't know how to do it on wine, so
I just opened up regedit and added the appropiate values in the right places:

"FontSmoothing"="2",
"FontSmoothingOrientation"="dword:000" , etc.

Still no joy. I then reconfigured my fonts using dpkg-reconfigure
fontconfig-config in order to make sure that autohinting wasn't being used
(on native), and bmp fonts were disabled. Upon restarting 'x', still no
AA joy.

I would appreciate some help getting this to work, as the fonts are the primary
reason I don't use Word on a regular basis.

Same way as on windows.

Then your FreeType lib has fonts subpixel rendering disabled.
