What you're saying surprises me because I got that information right out 
of the online wine manual in the referenced URL.  But even if you're 
right, it doesn't seem to make a difference either way because things 
look the same both before and after using those .FON fonts.

It seems as if wine (and Quicken) are already using the TT fonts that 
are being served up by my font server.  At least that's the impression I 
got from the debug output I ran earlier.  And the screen fonts all look 
identical to their real Windows counterparts *except* for those that I 
circled.
