Did you download the source and built it yourself, or did you get the
RPM? In the second case, you don't need fontforge. I also didn't know
cabextract was considered necessary, I have been doing fine without.

Did you try 
$ rm -fr ~/.wine && winecfg
?

Wine doesn't create logfiles. You need to use WINEDEBUG="foo" (see "man
wine") to get more debug information. In your case, I think the correct
debug channel is called "font".
