[Wine] Why does wine always use the worst font it can find?

[Philipp Klaus Krause]

The wine font problem is well known, every week there are users
reporting font problems on this list.
Now have this problem, too: I installed some additional fonts on my
system, now text is unreadable in wine.

Wine is obviously too stupid to decide which font to use, but why can't
it just always default to some standard X font?
