Resolving font trouble, how?

[Shachar Shemesh]

I'm not sure about your specific version. In general, you can give wine 
a fonts directory to use. This will cause it to immediatly stop using 
the X fonts. Add to your .wine/config file, under "fontsdir" section, a 
list of directories to use. This will not affect your X fonts.
