Forums Bug Reports Wine Script Editor Select File Dialog

I'm running mirc 7.83 in wine version 9.0 via bottles using dark mode and it is mostly fine, some dialogs don't render correctly, like the 'About' dialog, I can live with that.

FYI bottles is a gui wrapper for wine configuration.

I do have a slight issue with the script editor load dialog not being able to select a file, ie the select button does nothing. I'm using the /reload command as a workaround.

I'm wondering if someone else has had this issue and resolved it with a wine configuration option. Any help or suggestions are appreciated.

Thanks for your bug report. I was able to reproduce the issue with the file dialog under XP/Wine (which need to use the older file dialogs). This has been fixed for the next version.

As for the appearance of the About dialog, and likely other dialogs, in Wine: this is probably due to not having the correct fonts installed. You will need to use Wine prefixes to install standard Windows fonts. I cannot remember for sure but I think an important one is Tahoma. Note that you may have difficulty with some fonts as Wine download/install fails with some of the font packs.

Thanks for that Khaled. It's appreciated.

For those that are interested, I'm using the 'Ubuntu' font in wine mirc and it looks pleasing to the eye.

Here is a link ubuntu-font-fix.reg for the registry file for the ubuntu font in dialogs. Note that the DPI is set to 144 (0x90) in the registry file. I'm running 27" inch monitors at 2560 x 1440 so I needed to scale up.

Ensure that the ubuntu font is available, you can copy the font using cp /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ubuntu/Ubuntu*.ttf "$WINE_OR_BOTTLE_PATH/drive_c/windows/Fonts/" I'm using bottles to configure the wine runner and ubuntu was available as a font.

And here is a link wine-dark.reg for the dark mode registry fix for wine. You can reverse the dark mode settings by creating a *.reg file that deletes these keys.
