That seems totally wrong to me.  I agree that desktop.ini should be deleted,
and modern.fon can be, or not, depending whether you think you really have a
use for it in Windows (btw, afaik it is a "true" font file, just not a "true
type (TM)" font file).

However, this is part of a bigger problem.  If you have those True Type
fonts being served by an X font server, you have to have 'fonts.dir' and
'fonts.scale', and Wine complains about those too.  It should really be
silent about any attempt to load a file out of the \windows\fonts directory
that isn't actually a font file.

Again, not the right action if your keyboard is NOT a standard US keyboard.
That simply hides the problem, but you still have the problem that your
keyboard doesn't match the map.
