I remember that in another message, someone got an error fixme mentioning how wine was only using the first font. Is this possibly your issue - that Baekmuk is the first font alphabetically in your font list? You might be interested in looking into fixing this in the code by creating a config option to select a font - try asking wine-devel. You might also want to look and see if your alias is working, if it works in linux apps, and if wine supports aliases. > Could the problem have something to do with XFT?
