I think the problem I once had (and solved as described in 
http://www.winehq.com/pipermail/wine-users/2006-September/023525.html) was a different one.

Not only some characters showed up as boxes (e.g. german umlauts), but a WRONG FONT was used. All 
dialogs, menus etc. appeared in a "Courier"-style type-writer like font.

Like Wolfram reported (http://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-users/2006-October/023678.html), this 
was not the case until version 0.9.8, but occurred beginning with 0.9.9.

It looks like the patch you mentioned, Piotr, 
(http://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-cvs/2006-May/022564.html) has been issued after version 0.9.9.

best
Jens
