You can resolve this using the winecfg program.

Open a terminal
Type winecfg
Select the Graphics tab
Move the slider bar for Screen Resolution up. For example try 200 to start with.
Press OK.

Open the application and see if it is large enough for you now. If it is too large or small, adjust the resolution with winecfg again.

It was the fault of not building wine with freetype

Wine is now in desktop mode so all windows are in the wine window. And when I wanted to change that using winetricks it opens a wine window – kees broeksma Jun 24 '15 at 16:15

I had this problem, when I wasn't install llibfreetype6:i386.

Wine was showing:

ERROR: ld.so: object 'libgtk3-nocsd.so.0' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded (cannot open shared object file): ignored.

Wine cannot find the FreeType font library. To enable Wine to use TrueType fonts please install a version of FreeType greater than or equal to 2.0.5.

For resolved:

sudo apt install libfreetype6:i386

I'm working on Kubuntu 18.10.
