From the wine 7.0 release notes:
- The following libraries are bundled in the source tree and built as PE
libraries, so they are no longer required at the Unix level:
With mingwSupport enabled, Wine uses MinGW builds of GCC (compiled for
the i686-w64-mingw32 & x86_64-w64-mingw32 targets) to cross compile
system DLLs as PE executables.
This is used to workaround some basic anticheat software. (See #103102)
Fedora & Arch Linux also have this enabled by default in their Wine builds:
- Fedora: 8e216ca407/f/wine.spec (_116)
- Arch Linux: 2435e762ea/trunk/PKGBUILD (L44)
"Wine's fonts should be a natural candidate for their own subpackage"

They are a replacement for some Microsoft fonts not available in other
replacement packages.
