[Bug]: Fonts do not work in prefixes created and launched by Bottles

[esrevinue]

Describe the bug

Fonts displayed in a wine prefix do not look like correct. They are aliased and don't look like the fonts they are meant to be (i.e. Arial, Times New Roman etc.). I have tried copying my systems own Windows fonts (acquired through Windows installation media) into windows/Fonts in the bottle, soft linking them to windows/Fonts, installing the allfonts package, removing every font manually, but nothing works. The only thing that has an effect is increasing DPI, which eventually forces some apps to render fonts as I would expect them to. I have tried using the various wine versions Bottles provides, including my systems own version.

To Reproduce

• Create new Bottle
• Open Registry Editor (quickest way to see wine trying to render fonts)

Package

Flatpak from Flathub

Distribution

Arch Linux

Troubleshooting Logs

No response

Additional context

My own wine prefix using my systems installed wine version displays fonts as I would expect, with no configuration.

EDIT: I installed Bottles through the AUR, and wine renders fonts correctly out of the box.

Which runner are you using?

[esrevinue]

All of them. I have tried every up to date runner available on Bottles.

Might a missing dependency in flatpak at this point

[esrevinue]

Would that be an issue on my end? To be clear, I have not made any attempts to do something bizarre like circumvent pacman's dependency checks :)

I have the same issue, although my fonts are also messed up in the app itself. Im on fedora using the flatpak. Version 51.13 has correct fonts but after updating fonts are weird in bottles and any program run through it. Also noticed after updating from 51.13 I had to update mangoHUD and gamescope from branch 23.08 to 24.04 manually and without any warning except when triying to enable those features.

To me it seems like a flatpak dependency issue.
