Does that mean Wine can natively handle .fnt fonts (which
X libraries can't natively, I believe) as client side X fonts?
I suppose Wine would need some user-space app to manage
these fonts, then?

Fonts are a total pain to support right.  I think Red Hat 8.1
might be the first version of Red Hat to get it right...
I can hope, anyway...
