You're right, of course.  So just to check, I ran the above two 
WINEDEBUGs.  Unfortunately, the results were identical to the grep 
output.  So we didn't learn anything new there.

The reason that I said that they were likely unimportant is that I 
believe that they are merely idicies for the real fonts that are 
contained in those directories.  Elsewhere in that large debug file, it 
appears as though the real fonts in that same dir are being loaded just 
fine.

Yes.  And I currently am already doing just that.  Fedora Core2 already 
has a font server so I had added a bunch of MS fonts long ago for an 
entirely different purpose, unrelated to wine.

I know what you mean.  Thanks anyway.
