CrossOver Support - Community Forums

Hello

Captvty is a software for downloading replays of French speaking TV (from France, Belgium, Swiss, Canada...)
Captvty 2 works fine with Crossover on my Mac M1

(from captvty.fr)

but this software will soon be retired and replaced by the more recent Captvty V3
v3.captvty.fr

When using Linux I basically do (extract from https://framagit.org/Paullux/captvty-script-installateur-pour-ubuntu/-/blob/master/CaptvtyV3.sh)

winetricks -q dotnet452 corefonts gdiplus fontsmooth=rgb vlc win7

I have been able to add dotnet452, but I can't find core fonts gdiplus and font smooth

Thanks

Hi there,

Core Fonts should be available just by searching for "Core Fonts" in CrossOver. GDI is available with "Platform SDK Redistributable: GDI+"

fontsmooth=rgb is a little trickier. Winetricks is setting registry keys, which you can do manually in CrossOver. To do this for a given bottle, click "Run Command" in the right sidebar, then enter "regedit" in the command field to open the registry editor. To achieve what Winetricks does, you'll need to make sure the following registry keys are set. Note, these are all found under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop

FontSmoothing - should be set to 2
FontSmoothingOrientation - should be set to 1
FontSmoothingType - should be set to 2 (this will likely be set to 1, so you'll need to edit this one)

Best,
Meredith
