Solution 1

PlayOnLinux provides a mechanism to install and modify "bottles" of wine-software.

One of these is the install Microsoft Fonts to a "bottle" - the picture below will give an idea of what to do. Note - I dont have MS Office, but the principle still applies.

Solution 2

Select any Microsoft Office package (e.g Microsoft Office)
In the right sidebar click Configure
In the Install Components tab select "Microsoft Core Fonts" and click install

I installed MS Office 2007 using PlayOnLinux, and the Arial font is italic, for some reason. Any hint on how to install it correctly?

This two approaches I found in the internet have failed:
- To copy the fonts from my Windows "Fonts" folder to /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ and execute fc-cache.
- To delete all "Arial" in the folders: ~/.PlayOnLinux/fonts and ~/.PlayOnLinux/wineprefix/Office2007/drive_c/windows/Fonts/
--update:

follows the screenshot of my Arial:

  Does sudo apt-get install msttcorefonts not work?

  @arochester not.. Arial is still showing to me as a strange italic font..

  Is it actually Italic, or is it some other font being substituted? The most likely candidate is the Arial replacement font from the ttf-liberation package. Do you have that installed?

  @Scott Ritchie: Yes, I have the ttf-liberation installed. I think it's not really Arial italic, look my screenshot.

  Tom - just to clarify - you have click "install, other - Microsoft Fonts" in PlayOnLinux and added the Fonts to your MS Office package?

  @fossfreedom no, I have copied the fonts from my Windows system, and execute fc-cache after that. (it was a hint from a colleague)
