Here's how to get and use winetricks:
Download it from http://kegel.com/wine/winetricks (right click, save as)
Mark it executable (right click, properties, executable)
Double-click on it
Check 'corefonts' in list, then 'ok'
And it should install the three most commonly used fonts.
Alternate instructions for commandline people:
wget http://kegel.com/wine/winetricks
sh winetricks corefonts
