You may read a long comment by me here:
http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=23114#c4

As for reseting Xresources, try this in terminal (not as root but as currently
logged in user):
# xrdb -query | grep -vE 'Xft\.(anti|hint|rgba)' | xrdb

It should clean up Xft-related Xresources from active instance of Xorg and make
Wine use the fontconfig instead.

On my desktop it seems that the behavior for apps other than Wine is as
following:
1. Qt3 apps (KDE3) ignore Xft and always use fontconfig.
2. GTK+ apps - here are two cases:
2a) gnome-settings-daemon is not runing: GTK+ apps will not use fonts AA if it
is forbidden by Xft OR by fontconfig.
2b) gnome-settings-daemon is active: GTK+ apps will ignore fontconfig/Xft and
use the settings from gconf (one that are set in gnome control center).
3. XUL apps (like Firefox) use cairo and here are three cases:
3a) cairo isn't specially patched with "cairo-respect-fontconfig.patch": it
would behave just like ordinary GTK+ apps.
3b) cairo was patched with "cairo-respect-fontconfig.patch", no active
gnome-settings-daemon: it would behave like Qt3 apps.
3c) cairo was patched with "cairo-respect-fontconfig.patch", there is active
gnome-settings-daemon: it would behave like GTK+ apps.

That's it how it is working now on my desktop.
As you can see Wine just declares it's own rules of behavior, nothing more.
