Various parts of WINE are hardcoded to use the non-free Tahoma font, that is 
not provided by any Debian package. If the user does not want to install 
manually this font (or can't install it because of licensing issues) WINE seems 
to randomly chose another font (actually the choice may not be random, but 
usually varies from computer to computer) as substitution. Almost allays such 
font lacks nonlatin characters, needed to display localized messages and 
dialogs, and sometimes it lacks even latin characters (in one case font with 
music symbols was chosen for example).

To avoid any need to use non free font, most suitable solution will be to 
replace the hardcoded  Tahoma with a free font, choosing one that covers as 
many sets of characters as possible. Such fonts can be found in the ttf-dejavu 
package for example. Also a dependency on the selected font package must be 
added, because WINE actually does depend on suitable font to display dialogs 
correctly.
