Ok,

just to sum up what I've seen up to now.

1. wine works fine but wineconsole throws an error.
2. this happen regardless of the architecture
3. the last "working" version is 1.2.0-0.6.rc6
4. when started for the first time the aforementioned version tries to
"initilize" the available fonts and writes something to the wine
directory in the user's home directory.
5. all newer versions of wineconsole work only if this font
information is found in the wine folder. If not an error is thrown.

Please reply if you need more information.  Hope you can fix it.
