This means that the EnumDisplayDevicesW API (in a different dll to
gdiplus) is being called. This will either be in the Mono or gdiplus
code.

This is not causing any problems, so the caller is able to cope with
this not being implemented (Wine is returning suitable data back to
the caller).

This is in the Mono code. It is calling a gdiplus function (likely to
be GdipGetGenericFontFamilySansSerif, given the context below) and
gdiplus is reporting that it cannot find any. This is then causing the
Mono code to generate this error.

From the above, I cannot see where the native gdiplus is misbehaving.
As far as I can see, it is running well on Wine in this instance, it
is just the Wine configuration (installed fonts, etc.) that is the
problem.

Ah, yeah, the font type prefix was added at some point.
“xft:DejaVu Sans-11″ should work. See also README-0.16.8 – Fonts ;)
