Amusingly, once you install CW, unless you do something like this:
  mv windows/fonts/USPSBar.ttf USPSBar.ttf.bad
other apps (e.g. Picasa) have horribly corrupted dialog boxes.
So Wine appears to be doing a bad choice of picking
the font to use, and USPSBar.ttf is one font that
tickles that.  But moving that one file away doesn't rescue CW.
Moving all of them does. 
Ocrf.ttf, if left in, will mistakenly be used, but that's at
least somewhat legible.
Nelspec.ttf, if left in, will mistakenly be used, and that's illegible.
And so on.  Not sure which of the fonts is picked if they're all
there, but whatever, the font matching algorithm is clearly knackered.
Or maybe it's ok, but the fact that Wine does't come with
the same set of fonts as Windows causes havoc.

I have updated http://kegel.com/wine/cw.sh.txt to move all the fonts
to c:\windows\badfonts so I can get some testing done,
so if you use that script to install Church Windows and want
to see the problem, move 'em back.
