I have found this interesting for debugging, but also fun to hear web pages

Blurry font issue with Wine 2.0 on macOS 10.12.2

After installing the latest Wine release, which currently is 2.0 (I chose the development branch) on XQuartz 2.7.11, I was having problems with blurry text in both winecfg, regedit and other programs launched through Wine. After trying to enable font smoothing and font replacements (source) with only slight changes I found someone trying to solve the same issues (source), albeit compiling everything from scratch which I don't want to do. It turns out that the Retina display on my MacBook Pro was causing the issues with blurry fonts because Wine was not using the "real" resolution, only the reported "lower resolution".

To enable Retina support in Wine open the registry editor via a terminal, preferably through Wine Devel.app installed with Wine:
$ wine regedit

Then find the folder/key:

Principles of Adult Behavior

1. Be patient. No matter what.
2. Don’t badmouth: Assign responsibility, not blame. Say nothing of another you wouldn’t say to him.
3. Never assume the motives of others are, to them, less noble than yours are to you.
4. Expand your sense of the possible.
5. Don’t trouble yourself with matters you truly cannot change.
6. Expect no more of anyone than you can deliver yourself.
7. Tolerate ambiguity.
8. Laugh at yourself frequently.

Installing PDFtk Server edittion on your Mac

This workaround install is necessary because PDFtk was pulled from homebrew-cask due to issues with it aggressively overwriting file permissions that could impact other installed libraries. See this homebrew-cask issue.

The following steps worked on Mac OS X 10.10.1 with a standard brew installation for the PDFtk Mac OS X server libary version 2.02.

All Terminal commands separated by a full line space. Some commands wrap into multiple lines.

Download and extract the Mac OS X server install pacakge
