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:

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.
