I have found you don't even have to *copy* fonts over (presuming you are
keeping a Win partition, that is). I usually just switch to the
system/Fonts directory, and type:
ln -s /c/winnt/Fonts/*.ttf .
ln -s /c/winnt/Fonts/*.fon .
(it is important you have the trailing dot when linking from more than
one file)
I usually do it this way since I'm often blowing away & re-creating my
Wine config, since I'm experimenting with getting some stubborn WinApps
to install (such as eBay's TurboLister). A lot quicker that copying
files over. (the .fon files may not even be needed, but it's one simple
command, and hasn't crashed anything yet).
