So what now? How to proceed? Is that font freely available? Should we ask
Reactos developers to "donate" the font to wine? Would be nice if this font
could finally be added in near future, applications are failing because of this

Talk to the ReactOS guys and ask them if they still have it. I don't
remeber if I ever committed it to ReactOS svn but if its there it
would have been in reactos/media/fonts. Email them or ask on IRC if
they can get you in touch with the author. I think his irc handle was
WiredW but I don't recall his real name. The author had offered to
license it LGPL or X11/BSD and was going to try to import the source
or whatever in to fontforge but was frustrated because it lost his
hinting or something.

Hi Steven, i asked in reactos' irc, but this guy (wierd_w) hasn't been seen
around for a while. So i've sent him a e-mail twice( 2 weeks ago, and a week
ago, [e-mail]) but got no response. Looks like he disappeared
mysteriously....:( (at least from this e-mail address)

Looks like this way ends here for now.
