There was some discussion of this on the winehq.org site (sorry can't remember bug #) but the bug ended up being marked 'WONTFIX'. Apparently the wine build relies on a bug in fontforge that has since been fixed. It has been left to package maintainers to implement their own solutions depending on version of fontforge available.
I got wine-0.9.55 to build by editing out the offending marlett font from the fonts/Makefile.in. I then managed to convert marlett.sfd to marlett.ttf using fontforge20080302 with: $ fontforge -script genttf.ff marlett.sfd marlett.XXX $ mv marlett.XXX marlett.ttf and moved the marlett.ttf into the installed wine fonts directory. Fontforge, apparently relies on file extensions and the marlett.sfd does not represent a proper ttf (?). The marlett font is used to represent certain features on a window such as the arrows on a scroll bar. I didn't try wine without this font installed so don't know what affect its absence would have?
