You can't get the fonts that Windows comes with unless you take them
from a Windows machine.

At home, I copied over the fonts from my Win2k machine and installed
them in /usr/share/fonts/TrueType then made the appropriate changes in
xfs (/etc/X11/fs/config) and Mozilla
(/usr/lib/mozilla/defaults/prefs/unix.js) to be able to use them. (If
non-Red Hat, then put the font path in /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 in
appropriate section.)

I don't about WINE, but I'd suppose if xfs or XFree86 can see them then
you're done.
