[Bug 4449] Invisible fonts in Steam - need a Tahoma compatible font

An application wouldn't make that choice unless Tahoma was shipped by default on
Windows systems. Since Wine attempts to emulate a Windows system, it should also
provide this font.

Anyway, thinking like an engineer is the wrong thing to do. Put yourself in the
end user's (mine) shoes. As far as I can see my application doesn't work. I
don't care why it doesn't work, I just want it to behave similarly as it does on
Windows (which I think is a Wine goal).

 By the way, there's nothing to tell me that missing fonts are causing the
problem. There's no warning - all I see is the font-less dialog box. Furthermore
putting the Tahoma font in the Linux fonts folders does not work, and the
overrides trick someone else suggested doesn't work either. That seems to
indicate a bug (I do expect Wine to find my Linux fonts like other applications do).
