If I go to the directory it was installed to, either in the terminal or the file browser, and run it with the "Wine Program Loader" menu option, or 'wine lsvt.exe' it opens normally.  However, if I try to create a link or a launcher for it, it doesn't load the fonts and comes up looking awful.

Use a laucher which calls a Unix script that sets the directory and then calls wine lvst.exe.  This is how programs are supposed to be run with Wine.
