[PATCH 0/1] MR9223: wine.inf: Create [fonts] section in win.ini for 16-bit apps.
From: Dmitry Timoshkov <dmitry(a)baikal.ru> It looks like it's impossible to create an empty section, and without "dummy=0" entry a being created [fonts] section contains only "=" which may probably confuse some people/apps.

Do we know that we actually need to touch win.ini, or is the registry redirection sufficient? -- https://gitlab.winehq.org/wine/wine/-/merge_requests/9223#note_119077

On the other hand I've checked win.ini contents in Windows 11 and it has an explicit comment there "; for 16-bit app support" with empty [fonts],[extensions],[msi extensions],[files] and [mail]/MAPI=1 sections. Note, that this is on 64-bit Windows 11 where 16-bit support was completely removed.

Our 16-bit profile functions forward to the 32-bit ones.

Okay, if native has it that's probably a good enough reason. -- https://gitlab.winehq.org/wine/wine/-/merge_requests/9223#note_119081
