bad fonts in k-meleon under wine

Hello everybody!

I installed on my Slackware64 build K-Meleon76 Pro RC under the wine-stanging 2.21 and multilib-library. It works pretty well This works pretty well, but I have a very bad look for default fontssad smiley I took the package ttf-mscorefonts and so recorded windows-fonts from it to my folder ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/Fonts, buе it also did not bring any result.It looks like the browser does not work properly for font rendering, although in my OS Times, Courier and Arial look good. fontsmooth = rgb is also included in wine.I tried another version of wine and another architecture, everywhere the same thing. I will attach a few screenshots to illustrate my problem.Perhaps something is wrong in the wine itself or in the browser? Can you somehow try to solve this?

Yes.
I do not want to install infinality-patch since my fonts with fontconfig settings suit me. I think that wine uses its anti-aliasing settings, k-meleon its own, and both do not work with the fontconfig settings...

and you may try flipping this in about:config :
gfx.use_text_smoothing_setting = true

what about these switches? (please switch them one by one so see which one can enable font smoothing)

gfx.font_rendering.cleartype.always_use_for_content = true

gfx.font_rendering.directwrite.enabled = true

This setting includes anti-aliasing, but I get the following error:

Unhandled exception: page fault on read access to 0x00010009 in 32-bit code (0x00ffe06d).

Go to Configure Wine -> Applications -> Set Windows version to Win7 or above.
