Font display showing only symbols and garbage after winetricks fontfix step
(Microsoft Sans Serif)
If you use a newer version of 'winetricks' script which installs some true
type font fixes ('fontfix' step), Wine font selector might chose an
unsuited font as substitute for "Microsoft Sans Serif".
When "Microsoft Sans Serif" is hard coded into application resources,
"Samyak Oriya" might be chosen because there is no default substitute,
leading to garbage display. This only happens with newer versions of
winetricks. Previously "Tahoma" was chosen as substitute - still not
optimal but ok.
To work around this, add explicit substitute for "Microsoft Sans Serif" to
Registry, for example "Tahoma" or "Sans":
[Software\\Microsoft\\Windows NT\\CurrentVersion\\FontSubstitutes]
"Microsoft Sans Serif"="Sans"
