Hi, as there hasn't been any sign of life from someone who's doing this now or in near future, and as no-one seems to know how exactly this font could be added in a legal way, i decided to take the gauntlet and give it a try.
You seem to not be aware of Greenville, another (much more complete and compatible) Tahoma replacement.

Greenville is virtually abandonware and while its not really possible to claim the font was ripped of it still was being developed under the umbrella of the ReactOS project. Even if work on it is revised and completed, until the situation with ReactOS changes I doubt it would make it in to winehq.

Greenville's face is substantially is different from Tahoma, the only thing which is similar to Tahoma is character widths, which makes Greenville a compatible replacement of Tahoma. Since I worked for a publishing company for 10 years, and I know how the font faces are being created, I should say that although Greenville has been developed (formally) for ReactOS I don't think that that fact should make it less useable outside of it.

Is there an official policy on whether or not Greenville would be accepted into Wine? Way back in September 2004 (and quoted in WWN 241 [1]) it was said that Greenville was written in some expensive program other that fontforge - is that hindering its inclusion?
