Your X server needs to know about the fonts, if it knows the fonts, 9 times out of 10, X will automatically do the right thing if put in a situation it has to guess. About the only time you won't see text displayed in X is if 1) You don't have the font, and 2) X doesn't have any guess what a suitable replacement would be. That being said, I go from the wine packages in sid (which for me seem to work better), and I keep fonts that aren't from any packages I installed in ~/.fonts, which is one of the places X looks for additional fonts. My ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/Fonts directory is empty.
