Exactly which font Wine resigns itself to isn't that important, it's the font's
charset that matters most. But since you ask, Wine bundles Tahoma, it could use
that, for example. Of system fonts, Bitstream Vera is also a good choice, if
available. Or good old Helvetica. The best would probably be to make this user
configurable in winecfg; Wine can already substitute font names, it just needs
a user interface for it.

But I'm sure an acceptable solution only takes a couple of lines of code
somewhere - with the ugliest solution being explicitly excluding Marlett from
the font selection algorithm, and settling for anything else, if not explicitly
asked for. Better would be to exclude all symbol fonts unless they're explictly
asked for, if nothing else helps. Of course, predictability or configurability
would be nice, but *that* would be more of a feature request than a major
issue, so not something I'm asking for right now.
