Not at all, you are just at the right place..

If the app calls this Api, this will always appear on the console
(until someone implement it, that is). It would be different only 
if the app could first ask the system to see if the font is present
and if yes, would not call this  api.
If the app works by adding the font unconditionnally to the system,
the message will always appear. It does not matter in most cases,
since Wine makes the return of the Api appear as if the font had
been added.

Theoretically it should work; why is your app not working ? Is it
because of a font related problem ? If you are in doubt, try to 
run with -debugmsg +font and try to see if the font is really seen
by Wine.
