It's a bitmap font.  The (latin version of the) font file is called 
sserife.fon .  Basically the FontFamily stuff relies on scalable 
outlines, so gdiplus seems to simply ignore bitmap fonts.

It's also a hint that Wine's GdipGetGenericFontFamilySansSerif() is 
incorrect - in the absence of 'Microsoft Sans Serif' then 'Tahoma' may 
be a better choice.
