Hi, I didn't actually write the code to fit the stub of CreateScalableFontResourceA but found a useful workaround: copy a lucida sans ttf file (or any truetype font you like for that matter) from your system to LSANS.fot. start Civilization3.exe and you'll see that your fontproblem disappeared. (at least, it did the trick on my system: opensuse 10.2 w/ download.opensuse.org wine-0.9.55)
As far as I can test, a simple 'cp LSANS.TTF LSANS.fot' suffices to get rid of the error.
