Generally this occurs because you have a symbol font in your 
windows/Fonts directory on your Wine "C:" drive. This causes Wine to 
only look in that directory for fonts. The options are to either remove 
the fonts from that directory, or better, install some regular TrueType 
fonts in that directory for Wine to find. The latter option will produce 
slightly better font rendering. Get the TrueType fonts from a real 
Windows install in C:\windows\Fonts and from
