Fonts antialiasing in El Capitan

Works from PlayOnMac, doesn't when run from the desktop "link"

Hi, I have a peculiar problem: I'm trying to get antialiased fonts. When I start a program from PlayOnMac program, antialiasing works and the fonts look nice. However when I run it using the desktop shortcut, which I made from that very same PlayOnMac program, antialiasing is lost. No matter if running a windows program, registry editor, whatever, it always "works" like this.

I find it quite strange, but I would like to have antialiasing all the time.

I have a late 2012 iMac on El Capitan, when using wine or CrossOver, antialiasing is not working either. On PlayOnMac I installed wine 1.8 and 1.9.2 and it works on both of them, but only when I run it from the program.

Thanks for any help!

same problem here. Running from desktop icon also ignores .exe arguments

After manually compared the environment variables of app launched from shortcut and PlayOnMac program, I found that shortcut launched app missing lots of variables.

Add following line to playonmac script under the .app shortcut folder seems to fix the problem.

export WRITE_LD="$PLAYONLINUX/../unix/image_magick/lib:$PLAYONLINUX/../unix/tools/lib/ld:/opt/X11/lib/:"

But it's strange that only one of my Macs has this problem.
