Just in case anyone else has the same problem...

after much playing around and semi-fruitless google searching, I saw
this article:

http://groups.google.com.au/groups?hl=en&lr=&selm=b3e6211roidvmplq822kiadp86ptc2rup5%40bali.wallam

which said:
As explained several times before: wine likes to use ttf fonts stored in
c:\windows\fonts. Only when there is absolutely nothing to be found
there, it will use the fonts available from your X-server. A single font
file in c:\windows\fonts there (like Tengwar) will cause that font to be
the only font available."

I thought as a wild stab in the dark, (even though it was empty) I would
copy /usr/share/fonts/TTF/Vera.ttf to .wine/fake_windows/Windows/Fonts/
and guess what?  Now all my apps start in english!! although I don't
really know what strange wine font search order was causing the original
behaviour...
