Created attachment 54507 [details] Image illustrated the problem.
Some fonts apparently does not work when fully hinted (in this case Andika). The thought is that it is a bug in the font, but I am not sure if this is going to be fixed. That depends on how much SIL cares about screen rendering. Running with light hinting works much better so a work-around is to add an option for switching off or reducing hinting in winecfg.
How does rendering of this font look like under Windows? Changing hinting globally will break a lot of fonts (for instance shipped in the Microsoft Web fonts package), and what is worse will make rendered font metrics incompatible (and as a result break page/document layout) with the Windows way. Another concern is that there are other modules that may potentially differ from gdi32 in font rendering: gdiplus and dwrite.
