Well as much as I would like to I do not have the answer to this. Fonts 
are definately not my stong suit. I (might have) got around this by 
doing a "make clean"  before a wineinstall. this may work for you. for 
me this is pretty drastic as it takes about 3 hours to rebuild wine 
after a make clean (my machine is pretty ancient thought-- 96mb ram 
300mhz PII) if you have a faster machine it should be considerably shorter.

My setup has always been able to make do with a minimum of fonts (less 
to load) if you have "clean" it *should* work. I run with RedHat 7.2
