I strongly suspect this is INVALID - probably a matter of order. Check HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Fonts - if the font files are listed there, it's not a bug.
Seems you are right, the font is listed in ~/.wine-pipelight/system.reg: [Software\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Fonts] 1415225544 […] "Arial"="Z:\\usr\\share\\fonts\\corefonts\\arial.ttf" […] [Software\\Microsoft\\Windows NT\\CurrentVersion\\Fonts] 1415225544 […] "Arial"="Z:\\usr\\share\\fonts\\corefonts\\arial.ttf" […] The latter seems to be what winecheck.exe is checking [1]. So I guess that means it is a bug there? [1] https://bitbucket.org/mmueller2012/pipelight/src/80829af078a1739b93aa4f4f075dee9fe527e9d7/src/winecheck/check.c?at=master#cl-336
