Probably related to this bug, "ZUSI 3 - Aerosoft Edition" fails to start the
"ZusiDisplay" component since a recent game update. That game update changed
ZusiDisplay to use dotnet core instead of dotnet. It also installed dotnet core
into the game's proton prefix on first launch, so I'm probably using dotnet
core instead of wine-mono now.

Message boxes pop up telling me "Fehler beim Erstellen des Fensters! (Font
'Microsoft Sans Serif' cannot be found.)", and the first sentence translates to
"error creating the window".

It turns out that the "dotnet -> dotnet core" migration guide [1] by Microsoft
mentions that the default font for dotnet core is now "Segoe UI 9 pt" instead
of "Microsoft Sans Serif 8 pt". It recommends to manually change the font back
to "Microsoft Sans Serif 8 pt" if an application depends on that previous
default setting. So I guess more and more legacy applications will explicitly
require Microsoft Sans Serif as they are ported over to dotnet core.

So I feel like having a "Microsoft Sans Serif"-named font with similar metrics
included in wine might be a higher priority now.
