I have a sort of simple work around for this problem, of course this assumes that you have access to root on your machine...
$ sudo su - # cd ~user/.wine/drive_c/"Program Files"/"Firaxis Games"/"Civilization III" # chown root . civ3PTW Conquests # chmod 1775 . civ3PTW Conquests # ln -s LSANS.TTF LSANS.FOT # ln -s LSANS.TTF civ3PTW/LSANS.FOT # ln -s LSANS.TTF Conquests/LSANS.FOT
This should allow you to create and delete files in those directories, but more importantly it will stop wine from deleting the LSANS.FOT soft links, and then when it tries to read the .FOT file it will read the .TTF file and it will all just work! :)
That doesn't require root access. You can still reassign the owner to root (assuming you currently have access to it).
