Building off yesterday's release of [1]Wine 9.20 , Wine-Staging 9.20 is now available for this experimental blend of Wine featuring 357 extra patches currently atop the upstream codebase for various testing/experimental features and functionality.

Wine-Staging 9.20 is quite a small update compared to prior staging releases with simply rebasing atop the latest VKD3D Git code plus adding one new patch.

New to this staging area is a patch to fix rendering of rotated and scaled text within the win32u handling. In turn this patch fixes [2]Bug 33190 : "Font display problem text and dc rotation using GM_ADVANCED graphics mode."

This bug report dates back to March of 2013 around a GDI text display issue when dealing with rotated text. So after more than 11 years, the newest Wine-Staging code should take care of it. Here's a screenshot comparison from that Wine bug report of the broken font rendering and then the correct intended behavior:
