Don't know if anyone's noticed this - or if it's specifically using wine:

My Quest resets the font size when you do a "msg <blah|n blah>"

An example below:


Don't know what's going on there - but it's quite annoying!

Hmm.... That is weird? What's the asl generating that look like btw? Perhaps as a get around, put '|s00' at the start of each line or similar? It should jsut cover the problem, but Alex probably needs to look at this.

The code is simply this in the startscript:

msg <one two||three four|nfive>

Seems like the richtext box resets the font on every new line - and that font isn't the 'default'.

.. I don't remember this problem effecting me before (although I did just re-install wine and Quest to find a problem in my library - it was causing major lag).

BTW - Quest works almost flawlessly through wine now - only problem is you need to get MFC42.dll > 6.xx and regsrv32 it (and possibly regsrv32 an ocx file) and then you have it.

"only problem is you need to get MFC42.dll > 6.xx and regsrv32 it (and possibly regsrv32 an ocx file) and then you have it"

What?!

Those are system DLL files.

simply putting those in your system32 'folder' is not good enough. regsrv32 is an application which puts entries into the registry (I think) so that applications can run properly.

So you need to also do this in wine.

That's crap! Can't wine do it itself?

it usually does - but mfc42.dll isn't there (because they haven't coded a native version yet).
