Install them in ~/.wine/dosdevices/c:/windows/Fonts/ (~/ points to your user home folder on Linux)
Installing the game
Download the MTA installer from www.mtasa.com, ensure you can launch it (chmod +x) then install it when you want.
Running the game
Once installed, double-clicking on the Multi Theft Auto.exe should work. If not, try in a terminal the following command: "wine Multi Theft Auto.exe" in the directory you installed Multi Theft Auto to. If it doesn't work, check the contents of the file c:/Program_Files/Multi Theft Auto/MTA/CEGUI.log, which may contain useful information.
Known issues
Impossible connection through the server browser [Fixed in the 5084 bug ]
