Wine appears to use X fonts, from the X font server, xfs. On Redhat 6.x, 
I installed Windoze fonts like this:

Make a directory called /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/winfonts.
Copy the fonts you want from a Windoze installation, likely located in
C:\windows\fonts, into the directory.

 From within the /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/winfonts directory,
execute:

# ttmkfdir > fonts.scale
# mkfontdir

Edit /etc/X11/fs/config and add
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/winfonts to the end of the list in the
catalogue section. Then restart the font server :

# /etc/rc.d/init.d/xfs stop
# /etc/rc.d/init.d/xfs start

I think at this point you might need to log out and back into your X 
session. Now wine should have access to the new fonts.
