[Wine] How to set default font and the subsititution font?

The SystemLink works well but the default font works sometimes.

Applications use "Tahoma" as the default font sometimes, eg. the
buttong label of winecfg,
and still use stsingkai.ttf in other times, eg. the menu of notepad.exe

system.reg contains the following content:

[Software\\Microsoft\\Windows NT\\CurrentVersion\\FontSubstitutes]
......
"MS Shell Dlg"="Tahoma"
"MS Shell Dlg 2"="Tahoma"
.....

[Software\\Microsoft\\Windows NT\\CurrentVersion\\FontLink\\SystemLink]
"Tahoma"=str(7):"simsun.ttf\0"
