Thanks for the update!

For those that are interested, here the link for how to install winetricks, which I’m more then recommending for wine users.

Regarding the other fonts: Corbel and Candra are simple sans-serif fonts, where Candra is very simple and clean (which I like) but I don’t see any advantage to it over DejaVu Sans and friends, while Corbel is just ugly. Constantia is a relatively clean serif font which is nice to look at, but again – doesn’t have much over the competition and I don’t like serifs anyway (and its digits are way too small).

Regarding using cabextract to circumvent the need to have wine run the installer – while easier (or at least faster – the syntax isn’t really friendly 😉 ), I believe this seriously abuses the Microsoft EULA and thus will likely not stand up to legal scrutiny. If you don’t care about this kind of stuff, and many people won’t, then by all means – go ahead and use winetricks to install Consoleas.
