I can confirm Dan's discovery. My initial install of wine 1.1.8 on Ubuntu Intrepid (8.10) had no issues with fonts. Only after I modified System->Appearance->Visual Effects from 'None' to 'Normal' did the problem occur. I recall in making this change that the nVidia driver needed to be installed after which I needed to re-boot to enable the effects. I played around with the effects on and decided that I preferred the 'None' setting and switched it back and rebooted again. However, the driver remained activated and thus the problem did not go away.
Like Dan, I deactivated the nVidia hardware driver, rebooted and the problem went away - however... I had to re-install Wine in order to get it working again.
