Hi,

the registry entry is not enough for Silverlight. Silverlight also checks the name embedded into the font file and does not load it if the name does not match. Wine normally uses a replacement font for Arial, but this does not work for Silverlight since the name inside the file is wrong. To prevent this problem a similar check is implemented in winecheck. There are only two reasons why the check might fail if the font file exists and the file can be accessed by wine, i.e. the user is allowed to read the file:

* winecheck fails to parse the TTF file
* the font family inside the file does not match Arial

I can try to add some more verbose output till the next release, but it would be good to know why the test fails for you. Could you tell me which script/package was used to install the fonts? Alternatively, you can send the font to <email address hidden> and I will take a look at it.
