Wine installation in Ubuntu Intrepid

From http://www.winehq.org/ :

Wine is an Open Source implementation of the Windows API on top of X, OpenGL, and Unix.
Think of Wine as a compatibility layer for running Windows programs. Wine does not require Microsoft Windows, as it is a completely free alternative implementation of the Windows API consisting of 100% non-Microsoft code, however Wine can optionally use native Windows DLLs if they are available. Wine provides both a development toolkit for porting Windows source code to Unix as well as a program loader, allowing many unmodified Windows programs to run on x86-based Unixes, including Linux, FreeBSD, Mac OS X, and Solaris.

To install wine in your intrepid do this step :
1. open your terminal
2. type

wget -q http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt/387EE263.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add -

3. Next add wine repository to your system’s list of APT sources:

sudo wget http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt/sources.list.d/intrepid.list -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/winehq.list

4. Run

sudo apt-get update

5. Then install wine

sudo apt-get install wine

6. Optionaly u can add ttf font to your wine by add *.ttf file to c:\windows\fonts (Wine >> Browse C:\ Drive)

this is ttf font that i use in my wine
