I have installed Office 2010 using PlayOnLinux. My system: OS: Manjaro 18.1.1, DE: Xfce 4.14

The problem is that fonts looks like in bold if their size is relatively small (16-12 pt for TimesNewRoman) .No matter if i reduce font size in font settings or just reduce the page zoom. And if i continue to reduce the fonts' size (smaller than 12), they looks like the anti-aliasing is off.

Later I noticed that this behaviour is observed only if I start a new empty word file. If i open an existing document, the all fonts looks normal (like in Windows) and smoothed, with no regard to their size.

I found that if the starting script in Word desktop or "Open with.." context menu is:

Exec=/usr/share/playonlinux/playonlinux --run "Microsoft Word 2010" %F then the fonts behave as i described - the are not anti-aliased at small sizes.

I forgot to mention:

Every time when I switch from one icon script to another the PlayOnLinux reconfigures the wine prefix. I dont know why is this happening and what exactly it reconfigures.

What is your POL version, and the Wine version used ?

 POL version is the latest available in manjaro repo - 4.3.4-1.0

The Wine versions I tried: 3.0.2 (the default for MS Office installation script), 4.17, and 4.18. With no visible differences between wine versions.

There is some POL components that may help, install these from 'Options', it's named 'FontsSmooth...'
