System font choice...

[Dan Kegel]

A user complained that with wine-0.9.41, the font chosen
by Winefile looks bad:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/wine/+bug/69569/comments/4
http://launchpadlibrarian.net/8517354/Screenshot-Wine%20File.png

I'm guessing it's because vgasys.fon was chosen as the system font:

trace:font:WineEngCreateFontInstance Chosen: L"System" L"Regular"
(/usr/bin/../lib/../share/wine/fonts/vgasys.fon:0)

What's the suggested way to choose a different font?
I did 'sudo apt-get install msttcorefonts', didn't change anything.

Is this related to bug 8963?

Yes, I thought it might be that commit, didn't see the bug report.
