Why is the "missing font" message a WINE_WARN ? IMHO this should clearly be a WINE_ERR, as it's

Warnings should be WARN, only errors should be ERR

We already have way too much noise being printed
by default. Ideally
it should be possible to always display the error
messages because you
would only get one when there is really a fatal
error. As it is now,
if you want a user-friendly install, you have to
pipe all the output
to /dev/null (like we do in Crossover) if you
don't want to scare your
users with dozens of meaningless errors. That's
not good. That's not good, yes. And it's even worse if people don't know where to look at in order to find out "why this bloody wineconsole doesn't work" (to just express how people would react).
why not have wine take advantage of syslog-ng (if syslog-ng is installed and running)? its an easy way to find out like you said "why this bloody wineconsole doesn't work" and you can still redirect the output to /dev/null...
by the by, if you don't know how syslog-ng is an easy way to find out, it prints out all messages it is given to tty12, so all the user would have to do is hit ctrl+alt+f12 read the message(s) and then alt+f7 back to x...
