Bug Description
Binary package hint: wine
Everything looks like Windows 2000.
Everything else on my system uses unhinted RGBA anti-aliasing, as specified in my system fontconfig settings. Whatever settings I choose, Wine programs use BCI-hinted, non-AA text at small sizes and greyscale AA text at larger sizes.
I have chosen "Sans" as the font for everything via winecfg but this only seems to affect the menu bars. Indeed, however, these menus are unhinted greyscale AA (even if they are incorrectly selecting the Condensed version of DejaVu Sans -- another bug.)

I am also using customized fonts (tweaked with fontforge), in case anybody is wondering why they don't look all crappy. :)
