For Evolve client there's an easy workaround that does not require specific
font:

- install dotnet40;
- flip prefix version to windows 7;
- add replacement registry entry for Arial to Wine/Fonts/Replacements;
- run the client.

This way WPF font rendering goes through dwrite, and it works fine for me in
current wine. I suspect this will help other applications too, and I believe
it's a preferable way to handle this issue.

I'll retest other linked bugs when I have time, but regarding
Netflix/Silverlight,  what are the proper steps to test this combo?
