Well, the other source of potential differences is with the font itself.  OS X
comes with several faces of Verdana.  According to a +font log, the system
Verdana is preferred over the one from Core Fonts because the system one has a
higher version (5028f vs. 10000).

I'm seeing results very similar to the Corrupted "W" screenshot using the
FreeType from XQuartz and the libcxfreetype from a trunk CrossOver build.

Indeed, if I use /Applications/Font Book.app to disable the system Verdana,
then Wine uses the Verdana faces from Core Fonts and the Horn of the Abyss
installer looks like WineBuG's Correct "W" screenshot. However, I'm not sure
what's really correct. If I'm interpreting the +font log correctly, the whole
string is supposed to be rendered bold.
