However I still believe that the registry operations do have a legitimate place in winecfg. Using your argument: the ability to use ClearType is a setting in Windows - shouldn't 'fontsmooth-*' be a setting in winecfg?
That setting probably should be, yes. I'm not sure off hand why it's not. IIRC, not all builds of wine support it, depending on your fontforge build.
