nodepad++ font is ugly #61

First of all, thank you for developing winepak application platform. I installed org.notepad_plus_plus.Notepad-plus-plus unfortunately font rendering is primitive and ugly. I also installed org.winepak.Platform.Extension.corefonts hoping that it would fix it but nothing changed. How do we apply anti-alising for application fonts?

Really, everything looks Windows 2000ish. It would be nice if they could be made to look better.

Installing org.winepak.Platform.Extension.corefonts won't improve the fonts since you need to run the corefonts-install and the manifest installer doesn't atm. If you want to take the time to test you could do the following and see if it makes it better:


[localhost]$ flatpak run --command=sh org.notepad_plus_plus.Notepad-plus-plus
[inside-flaptak]$ /usr/lib/extension/corefonts/bin/corefonts-install64

Basically you run the org.notepad_plus_plus.Notepad-plus-plus application but instead of launching the normal binary you run a shell (sh) and can run commands in the flatpak. Then you run the corefonts install which gets mounted in the Sdk automatically at /usr/lib/extension/corefonts/bin/corefonts-install64

Make sure you have org.winepak.Platform.Extension.corefonts installed.

How exactly do you add an extension? Btw, I just did WINE=wine64 winetricks fontsmooth-rgb and nothing changed.
