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.

Have you tried with fontforge 20080309? It contains a patch explicitly for this issue.



Fontforge, apparently relies on file extensions and the marlett.sfd
does not represent a proper ttf (?).

.sfd is fontforge's native file type, not TrueType. The final .ttf is generated from the .sfd file.
