How to add wine fonts - Ubuntu

This is a tricky question. It took me a while untill I figured how to install .ttf fonts in wine. The problem is that in ubuntu exists many places where fonts are stored so which would be the right place to install fonts for wine? For exemple I tried to install fonts in wine for phothoshop, but the fonts weren't showing in Phothoshop. After few trials I got this:



Follow this steps:
  1. Download your font and unrar/unzip it if necessary.
  2. Create in /home/username (where username is your computer username) a new directory and call it .fonts (if the directory doesn't exist).
  3. Copy your .ttf font in /home/username/.fonts.
  4. Open a terminal and type: sudo fc-cache



You're done!
