How to force Wine to use Arial fonts?

Right now Wine is using some kind of handwritten font:

This isn't awful, but it causes text placement problems in certain applications, with text oozing over widget borders and stuff. Is there a way to force Wine to use Arial as the default font, as it did before 0.9.12, without uninstalling the MS web fonts?

enter to the directory /home/youruser/.wine/drive_c/windows/fonts, if no exist create it.......in that directorie cp the font.ttf that you want....( in /usr/share/fonts/TTF you have the ttf font files)
