I have installed wine 0.9.58 and 0.9.56. Both exhibit same problem, the menu
bar in regedit (for example) is rendered with fuzzy font.

I did more experiments and it looks like this is closely related to the DejaVu
Sans font. If I use "Verdana" or "Tahoma" for menus, it looks okay.

However, the same font is rendered inside the windows just fine. Only on the
menu it is rendered fuzzy. Also I'm using DejaVu Sans through my whole system
and I'm pretty sure it never renders fuzzy in other programs.

And one more strange thing. It happened to me just once, but the menu bar was
rendered sharp in regedit. I don't know what happened, I exited regedit and ran
it again and then it was rendered fuzzy again. Then I tried to re-run it many
times, and this never happened again.

About freetype settings - indeed, wine will follow the config file settings in
/etc/fonts/. Maybe it would make sense to make freetype settings (hinting,
antialiasing type) configurable via winecfg. I don't know, maybe this can be
changed somewhere in the registry, I haven't found it.
