[Bug 12729] New: Wine does not pick up the correct font

Summary: Wine does not pick up the correct font

          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Linux

Screenshot showing the font clipping due to wrong font selection

My application is coded in C++/VC++, is compiled on Windows, and there the
controls are sized to show correctly with the selected font at design time. The
font being used for the dialogs is MS Sans Serif (font size 8). When the
application is run under Wine, the forms/dialogs are created using some
alternate font which results in text labels being clipped (as in attached
screenshot). 
I am not sure but this could be because the windows font is not available, or
some other .ttf fonts are present. 
As a workaround to the clipping problem I tried installing comic.ttf, but if
more than one ttf file is present, Wine seems to be picking the font in some
random order.

Can you attach the binary/source to this app?

I am not allowed to attach the binary/source due to some licensing issues..

Is there any demo of the/similar program showing the problem, or can you write
a small test app to show the problem?

Please attach terminal output.
