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?
