Still present in wine-1.3.25-99-g093547e.
Dmitry Timoshkov: First thing to do is figure out which font actually makes a difference.
Problem is work arounded, when "courie32.exe" is installed, i.e. "Courier New font family".
So I feel this could be a very simple solution, and fixed in the near future. It is simply an issue of specifying a 'fixed-width' font. And having it hard coded into vanilla Wine (for now). Where does Wine get it's fonts from? And does it (or can it) draw from the host system automatically? The long-term goal being: Able to set fonts from [winecfg] for certain window types as in a full desktop environment.
I nominate FreeMono font for use. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FreeMono
Still just adjusting 'logpixels' in registry for now...
