I am using Ubuntu 12.04 and I just installed Wine.

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa 
sudo apt-get update 
sudo apt-get install wine1.5 
sudo apt-get install winetricks

The installation was not fully successful because it gave me the error that fonts were not installed.

Without the fonts I cant open any program. I have tried to copy fonts from Windows to /usr/share/fonts but there is no paste option.

Also I have googled and saw somewhere that you can install fonts via winetricks. If so, how does it work? Can I open winetricks? How can I do the install?

Regards

You can type this in the terminal:

sudo apt-get --reinstall install ttf-mscorefonts-installer

Then you need to accept license when prompted, you use TAB and ENTER to accept the license.

If the above doesn't work try one of these ways to mannually add the fonts:

You can paste Windows fonts to /home/YOURUSERNAME/.wine/drive_c/windows/Fonts.

Or you can paste Windows fonts to /usr/share/fonts/, although to enable paste option in there you need to open Nautilus as root:

gksu nautilus /usr/share/fonts

And then you will be able to paste Windows fonts there.
