You dont have a correct Freetype version.
Because of that, wine can only use use predefined fonts, not your
Windows fonts.

We need your linux version to answer to this question.

everywhere you can.

the place you put it and the user doesnt matter - you only need to be
root when installing it.

avoid to be root - this a better for the system.
