I haven't even looked at that stuff at all, but does Wine have any fonts worth contributing to that cause? (Marlett?)
Red Hat's Liberation font is a single-source thing done by a pro, so probably not.
Is it worth creating a link within winecfg to download and install these somehow? Good fonts can really help the user experience with Wine.
No, it would be better to have Wine install the fonts by default once they are proven useful, I think. I added them to winetricks so people could experiment with them (slightly) more easily.

I'm pretty sure the proper place for these fonts is as a separate distro package - perhaps one that Wine can depend on.
If the liberation fonts aren't yet being packed up in Ubuntu, I'll see about adding a new package for them.
