It is clear from your description and the log that you are not using
client side font rendering (which is what you need). You will have to
find out why it is not working.

As far as I know these things are needed:
1. the freetype library version 2.0.5 (IIRC) or later. If you compile
wine from source you need the development files as well;
2. font files where Wine can find them. windows\Fonts is the standard
place;
3. there are some configuration options where you can disable client
side font rendering. These are by default 'off', so if you never changed
anything that should be OK.

Perhaps a WINEDEBUG=+font may show the reason why wine cannot use the
clients side rendering. Here is the top of the log on my machine so you
can compare:

|$ WINEDEBUG=+font wine sol
|trace:font:CreateFontIndirectW (12 0 0 0 31 0 0 0 255) L""    => 0x9a
|trace:font:CreateFontIndirectW (12 0 0 0 31 0 0 0 0) L""    => 0x9e
|trace:font:CreateFontIndirectW (12 0 0 0 22 0 0 0 0) L"MS Sans Serif"    => 0xa2
|trace:font:CreateFontIndirectW (16 0 0 0 22 0 0 0 0) L"System"    => 0xa6
|trace:font:CreateFontIndirectW (16 0 0 0 22 0 0 0 0) L""    => 0xaa
|trace:font:CreateFontIndirectW (16 0 0 0 31 0 0 0 0) L""    => 0xae
|trace:font:CreateFontIndirectW (-11 0 0 0 22 0 0 0 0) L"MS Shell Dlg"    => 0xb2
|trace:font:WineEngInit
|trace:font:WineEngInit FreeType version is 2.1.7

followed by lots of lines logging the progress of loading font files:

|trace:font:ReadFontDir Loading fonts from "/home/rein/.wine/dosdevices/d:/WIN98/Fonts"
|trace:font:ReadFontDir Found "ariblk.ttf" in "/home/rein/.wine/dosdevices/d:/WIN98/Fonts"
|trace:font:AddFontFileToList Loading font file "/home/rein/.wine/dosdevices/d:/WIN98/Fonts/ariblk.ttf" index 0
|trace:font:AddFontFileToList fsCsb = 2000009f dfd70000/00000287 00000000 00000000 00000000
|trace:font:AddFontFileToList Added font L"Arial Black" L"Regular"
