It would appear that the "Microsoft Core Fonts" (which includes Tahoma) CAN be
distributed freely.

See:
http://corefonts.sourceforge.net/
There are archived versions of the license and FAQ there.

Excerpts:
"Anyone can download and install these fonts for their own use."
and
"You must not supply the fonts, or any derivative fonts based on them, in any
form that adds value to commercial products"

We could have a look over to see whether or not we can bundle them "as is". If
we can, this should add significant value to WINE. Otherwise, upon install, if
the core fonts package is not installed, we could prompt to download them
(providing a link/directly downloading+installing them/etc).
