It is NOT correct. Second, use Google to find the winetricks script. Save it as a shell script and set it up to execute. If you do not know how to do this, please find a local Linux/UNIX guru, this is outside the scope of this list. Third, run winetricks corefonts. This will download and install the Microsoft (R) Arial and Times New Roman fonts. Without these fonts you will see garbage on the screen for most programs as they require these fonts to properly display information. The winetricks script has more functions, but this should be all you need for now. James Mckenzie
