Nice ;-/

The new Tahoma doesn't contain any TrueType hinting instructions, so there
are several sets of bitmaps that get used at small font sizes.  It's possible
winecfg is trying to use a font size for which we don't have a bitmap strike.
Could you send me a +font log so that I could take a look?

Thanks,
Huw.
