If I read the code correctly in 1.0rc4 the font is actually not linked. There
is some init_system_links function. Assuming it is actually executed it links 
System to Tahome but Tahoma is not linked to anything.

On Windows the SystemLinks key sets up Tahoma to be linked to MS UI Gothic and
MS UI Gothic to be linked to Chinese (and probably other) fonts. However, this
key does not exist in Wine.
