I'd like to brought to wider attention the bug
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=693180

What's the matter?

If you install wine, it brings as a dependency wine-tahoma font, that is 
then included in system wide fonts list. This causes the font to be used 
by applications like Firefox when pages require tahoma. As the font is 
badly looking, it makes many things to look terrible.

Some of us think, this font should be made specific for the wine 
application and not used system wide as it breaks the look and feel of too 
many things.

Please make your voice to be heard on that.
