I am not entirely sure myself - all I know is I did a git bisect to find what was 
the problematic commit, and reverting this particular commit on top of 0.9.58 fixes my problem. 

My understanding is that the .NET framework uses the windows registry font
entries for font look-ups, according to the discussion in http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10467#c2, and it loads fonts directly based on the registry font list and does its own rendering thing with the font files directly; 
So changing font registry entries break things.
