Add "Synchronous" = "Y" to the [x11drv] section of your config and run wine like "WINEDEBUG=+font wine ..." and search the output (backwards) for the offending font. MUCH more recommended is to populate your Windows\Fonts with some TrueType fonts. Wine will not use any X fonts and the quality is much better. A good set of TT fonts can be downloaded using the Debian msttcorefonts package.
