Campaign Cartographer

What works

Basic Drawing

Symbol Placements

Effects

Map navigation

Commands

Image Exports

What does not

Fonts do not render in the same size as on windows, which means maps shared between Windows/Linux users might look a bit weird.

Workarounds

Font sizes can easily be manually adjusted. For symbols with built in
text properties, place them with blank text, and add text using the
regular text tools instead.

What was not tested

Printing

Hardware tested

Graphics:

• GPU: Other
• Driver: open source

Additional Comments

- The export window doesn't show the the progress (This is basically a
windows cmd window with text output), it just stays black. The export
finishes fine, but since larger exports can take some time, you don't
get any feedback.

- Also note that the default image viewer in wine is wine internet
explorer. It sometimes fails to open the exported images when you have
told CC3+ to open the default image viewer after exporting. This seems
to be an issue with the image viewer, and not CC3+ though, as the image
viewer does open, and it is pointed at the correct path, it just simply
does not load the image. I recommend you change the default image viewer
in wine, or just don't tell CC3+ to open it when done, and simply
manually open it in your regular image viewer under Linux instead

When opening existing maps, you'll find that the fonts don't render the same size as on Windows.

This can be fixed by changing the font properties of the existing text in the map and unchecking the 'Use New Metrics' option. This should cause the fonts to render the same size (extremely close anyway) as they did on Windows, and they'll still display fine if you open that map in Windows.

You should obviously keep this option off for any new text you place if you want to be able to open the map in Windows and have it look the same.
