I would verify the symlinks in .wine/dosdevices. c: should by default point to 
your ~/.wine/drive_c (or if you upgraded maybe ~/.wine/fake_windows). 

on my laptop the dosdevices dir looks like this:
munz at acer:/opt/wine> ll ~/.wine/dosdevices/
insgesamt 0
lrwxrwxrwx  1 munz users 10 2005-08-02 20:33 c: -> ../drive_c

you can savely ignore this message unless your fonts are too big or small.
