Can't this be based on the font path, using the first font we find in the path? Then we just have to make sure the Windows dir is searched first.
That would work if the Wine fonts end up in the Windows dir, but aren't they likely to get installed into somewhere under /usr/share/fonts ?
Well, yes, the idea would be to search the Windows dir before /usr/share/fonts.
Also, I like the versioning thing, it lets me have the ms webfonts under /usr/share/fonts and have /win/winnt/fonts in my fontconfig path. This way, if my Windows partition has a newer version of Arial than the ms webfonts I get to use that, rather than it being on a first come first serve basis.
Sure, for fonts that have versions the priority can be based on that. First come first serve would only be for fonts that can't be versioned.
Can't we just add the Replacement keys to wine.inf and be done with it?
Yes, but that's ugly, Wine should be able to behave sanely without special registry entries.
