I have a suggestion that might work. I don't use Windows anything, but this works for Notepad.
Copy the text between the lines below into a file called regedit4.reg
-----------------------------------------
REGEDIT4
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop]
"FontSmoothing"="2"
"FontSmoothingType"=dword:00000002
"FontSmoothingGamma"=dword:00000578
"FontSmoothingOrientation"=dword:00000001
-----------------------------------------
Then in a terminal type
wine regedit
In the drop-down Registry menu, hit Import Registry file, and navigate to where you have saved regedit4.reg
Hit "Open" then quit the application.
