Two things could be wrong with that font

1. WineTahoma is a Bitstream Vera Sans derivative, it must have the same
license.

See the copyright notice in the ttf file:
Copyright (c) 2004 Larry Snyder, Based on Bitstream Vera Sans Copyright (c) 
2003 by Bitstream, Inc. Font renamed in accordance with former's license. 
Please do not contact Bitstream Inc. for any reason regaurding this font.

Yet the license is LGPL.

2. Some characters are poorly drawn, this could be really bad at some sizes but 
turns out fine for Wine's usage.
The Bitstream Vera Sans glyphs have been modified to look narrower and thus 
match Tahoma more. Some look really strange, as if only part of them add been 
condensed: '5', '6', '9', 'a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'g', 'p'.

I'm not sure this offers much when compared with DejaVu Sans Condensed, except 
for having some bitmapped sizes.
The license issue should be fixed, regardless of this bug report.
