Hello Jens,
Hello everybody,

This link you have found about similar font problem is mine:
 http://www.winehq.com/pipermail/wine-users/2006-September/023525.html

I should have written to this list to let you know how it ended. I discovered 
that this is a wine bug:
 http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6049

I am pretty sure that this is a real bug, because I checked wine-git tree with 
bisect and there was an obvious bug in a patch from qingdoa daoo. It was also 
reported by someone else. 

I thought this is a minor thing, that nobody cares, but if it is not, please 
add your comment to this bug, so we can persuade that this is more important 
or make the status change to "confirmed", because nothing happens. 
The bug was opened  on 2006-08-25 02:25
