Note that this size has nothing to do with what's in the control. The
'**' thing is just something the scales with font size that seems to
be close to the 'magic' size in Windows.

MS Shell Dlg maps to either Microsoft Sans Serif or Tahoma depending
on Windows version; the default wine.inf maps it to Tahoma so you
should check whether you have tahoma.ttf installed. If in doubt a
+font log will tell you what Wine picks for this font.
