that's on the system that works ok. I'll have to check the system with 
the problem later.

I've just checked another supposedly identical Suse 9.3 system and 
/usr/local/share/wine/font and /home/alt/.wine/drive_c/windows/fonts are 
not symbolically linked, they are separate directories. I think I need 
to deinstall wine & install from scratch to figure out what's going on.
