--- Comment #10 from dimesio@earthlink.net 2008-04-04 23:33:33 --- The problem is still present in 0.9.59 for Word 2003 on OpenSUSE 10.3, with a clean wineprefix.
For some fonts simply copying the ttf file to the windows/fonts directory solves the problem. In other cases the problem seems to stem from having multiple versions of the same font face installed in windows/fonts--e.g., Arial and Arial Condensed. They are not really the same font, but Word 2003 seems to think they are. Deleting one of the "duplicate" font files solves the problem for some of these cases (though Word may then be unable to bold them). Neither Excel 2003 nor Powerpoint 2003 have this problem.
