   Thank you very much! I’ve been trying to find a way to install Darwine 0.9.50. Upgrading fixed the text display problems I was having on Windows programs. The actual project site is painfully behind, or was the last time I checked.

   Thank you for this build.

   @Daniel: Can you post working programs on http://appdb.winehq.org/ ?

   I’m not directly related to Darwine, I know one of the maintainers, and I relay fixes to him. Darwine actually is only about WineHelper, emulating ppc and the building process anymore. Anything Wine was merged with winehq ages ago.

   The OS X part of wine is driven by codeweavers, who, obviously, are not to interested in the “free” Darwine

   @mike:

   codeweavers seems that are also not interested in CrossOver:
   I posted two new applications on http://www.codeweavers.com/compatibility but the review is quite long (not in the regular list since now).

   The current version of CrossOver use also a very old version: 0.9.34

   hi,
   thanks again for your great program
   still no way to disable fontsmoothing without editing the “wine”-script?
   after commenting out the line with the lib path, darwine sometimes takes very very long time for startup.
   do i just have to modify the path insead of commenting the whole line out?
   maybe you cam post a modified wine-script?
   thank you very much

   Basically, freetype is compiled in… so it will always try to find the library. If it is not found, all the fontmetrics are recalculated, which takes a long time.

   I would have to compile a version without freetype support…
   Maybe I’ll do that… just a vanilla Darwine

   >I would have to compile a version without freetype support…
   or “simply” add a flag “no fontsmoothing”?
   I would love it
   bye, frank

   @Raymond:
   I sent this into the lead Mac developer at Crossover and they stated that they want to stay with a stable version and will upgrade when CrossOver 7.0 is released (6.2 is basically fixes for 6.0, which was built with 0.9.34). I’m hoping that they move to at least 0.9.49 or 0.9.51 (there were major regression problems with 0.9.50). At least Mike produces Darwine, which we can use in the meantime. (Shameless plug…)
