I don't believe it is distributed with PAF.  It does _not_
show up if I do the following commands in a directory above
my $WINEPREFIX area:

    find . -name '*aptain*'
    find . -name '*APTAIN*'

It appears the "Captain Podd" font is coming from the
Mandriva Linux distribution on which Wine is running.  How
PAF or some DLL finds and selects it is something I don't
know but would like to find out.
