There is a possible fix in the last link that I provided to you:

There is a solution given in this bug report which helped me (adding to
registry):

[Wine : unbunte 8.04 -> 8.10 : Font problem in Wine applications]
Binary package hint: wine

Ubuntu 8.10
Wine 1.0.1

In Ubuntu 8.04 : no problem ; font where OK
In ubuntu 8.10 : the font chosen by wine for common screen is not
correctly driven : thinks are unreadable on screen (superposition of
characters) (same in Wine configuration settings panel)

and has a few screenshots:

or

Does that appear to be the same as you are experiencing?

If so, then perhaps there is a fix provided in that bug(s) and/or you
can add your comments to the bug.
