This is most interesting.  Unfortunately I did not get the Live CD 
burned today.  I'll give this a go tomorrow.  If I find this to be true 
on my system, then we have an issue to bring to the Wine folks.  I'll 
try using Gnome, if you don't mind.

It does.  Fonts are written to the .wine/drive_c/windows/fonts directory 
(or they should be).  That may be what is happening when you first run 
Wine after creating a new directory.  I'll also give this a go on my Mac 
(since this looks like a possible Wine bug), but again this will have to 
wait until tomorrow.

Thank you for the details on what you did to get this to work.  This helps.
