The problem is this line in X11DRV_EnumDeviceFonts:

if (physDev->dc->gdiFont) return FALSE;

so if the font is "MS Sans Serif", it will return 0, and old VB apps at least
won't like that. But knowing the actual X11 font name given in the wine config,
from the alias table it's possible to enumerate it, so those apps will start,
that's what that patch does.

That's all I really managed to understand here, if there is a better way to do
this I will.

The alias table in the config file is used only by the old font
scheme.  Could you send me a relay trace of what's going on, I'd like
to understand why VB apps have problems.
