Why don't you simply use a precompiled Wine package?
At least http://www.winehq.org/site/download does not list them.
Not completely related to this bug, but perhaps it's time to think about an upgrade?
Do you have an XRender extension in your X11 for instance?
I do not know. How that is relevant for wrong letters?
...
RENDER
You have it. In the case of missing XRender extenstion font support is limited to X11 device fonts.
What do you have SONAME_LIBXRENDER set to in include/config.h?
