I am using wine 1.3.16 on Mac OX 10.6.7, built and installed using osxwinebuilder. I am using it to run Quicken 2010. Quicken installed and runs fine with one exception: One of the fonts used in Quicken is rendered very poorly. Here is an example: [Image: http://altosdesign.com/bugs/fontissue1.jpg ] Searching for this problem led me to a number of posts that suggested using winecfg to set the screen resolution to a larger number than the default of 96. I tried a number of different settings, and I get the best (but still pretty bad) results at 100 dpi: [Image: http://altosdesign.com/bugs/fontissue2.jpg ] There are many error messages printed on the console while Quicken is running, but none of them refer to missing fonts. Prior to installing Quicken, I removed my .wine directory, and then used winetricks to install fontfix, dotnet30, gdiplus, ie6, ie7, and ie8. I also tried adding winetricks allfonts (and then deleting Tahoma fonts), setting Windows Version 7, using CCleaner and Adobe Acrobat 8 as described here: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=22198. None of these had any effect. I had previously tried Quicken 2010 on wine with version 1.2.2 as installed by Macports, and had the same font problem. However, I gave up on wine with Macports, due to printing not working in it. Any other suggestions on things to try would be gratefully appreciated. Thanks for the help! Dave
Hey Dave. Are you using Xquartz or the X11.app that shipped with Mac OS X? I've only seen graphic/font issues with X11.app. Xquartz seems to be better behaved. -r

Got to xquarz.macosforge.net and download the latest (2.6.1) version for Snow Leopard. Installing it is very easy and allows you to still use Apple's borked up X11 (I have not since I install XQuartz). There are many known issues with Apple's X11 (lack of xrender is on major omission we may see fixed with Lion) and font rendering, as pointed out by Ryan, is one of them. James McKenzie
