It is a problem, but the question is "Is it a bug, or some misconfiguration?".

Wine 1.7.38
Linux Mint 17.1
All fonts in "Winecfg|Desktop Integration" are set to 
"Calibri 10";
There is no installed theme. 
All other settings are the default one.

I am running the programs with:

    wine notepad.exe
    wine winecfg.exe

On the attached image, you can see that the UI text in notepad
and winecfg are rendered different - the one from the winecfg
is without antialiasing and looks very thin. 
The text in notepad is rendered with grayscale smoothing and 
looks darker. 

Zoom the image in some graphic editor in order to see the difference better.

The problem persists for any other Windows application compared to winecfg.exe 
I only used notepad.exe as an easy example.
