CJK XCreateFontSet performance problem (bug 5309)

2007-06-13 Thread dank
It turns out bug 5309 affects Picasa; a Chinese user complained that menus were terribly slow. The patch Aric committed here: http://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-cvs/2006-October/027272.html seems to have helped. I'm wondering, though, whether this points up a problem in how linux distros conf

Organizing more Wine bug triage

2005-09-23 Thread dank
Wine's bugzilla has 375 unconfirmed bugs reported since the beginning of the year. A fair number of these are worth fixing, but don't have good recipes for how to reproduce them.
