Screenshot showing the problem on Office 97

This issue should be looked into. I have the same problem.

I'm on Arch Linux x86_64 and I have tried the two packages avaiable at the
moment, 'wine 3.0-1' and 'wine-staging 2.21-1' from the multilib repository
(the ones you don't have to compile yourself).
(https://www.archlinux.org/packages/multilib/x86_64/wine/ ,
https://www.archlinux.org/packages/multilib/x86_64/wine-staging/)

It happens just after installing Microsoft Office 97, no matter what components
of it I choose to install. After copying all the files, it reports something
like 'Updating system settings' and just after that small fonts begin looking
bad.
It was working well on my previous OpenSUSE Leap 42.2 installation, where I had
the package 'wine-staging-2.21-719.1.x86_64', though I had probably installed
Office in a previous version. I don't have that OpenSUSE installation anymore.

I can confirm winecfg displays properly before installing Office and bad after
doing it, just like the OP showed.

I'm enclosing two pictures: one without the problem in OpenSUSE and one with
it, in Arch Linux. Every time I generate a new Wine prefix, it looks alright,
but once the Office setup finishes it gets screwed up. I tried replacing the
registry files system.reg, user.reg and userdef.reg with the ones from a clean
Wine prefix, but that didn't solve it.

I have both wine-mono and wine_gecko installed as well.

I tried many of the suggestions one finds when googling "ugly small fonts in
wine", but none helped. Some of them consist in intalling fonts to the system
and then creating soft links into C:\Windows\Fonts, so all that has already
been tried.

Thanks.
