It shouldn't break anything, as least as far as I know.  My understanding is
that Windows knows nothing about the hinting, as that relates to freetype.  I
also made sure not to break existing substitution code in Wine....  if someone
substitues Arial for Verdana using the Wine substitutions, and has fontconfig
replaces Verdana with DejaVu, then the patch tells Wine "Here is Verdana", and
proceeds to load and display DejaVu.  So, I don't think it will break anything.
 Besides, it's not set up as a default...  if someone wants to use it they
enable it with a registry setting.
