Follow the steps to fix the problem:

1. Install Wine if it's not already installed (you obviously have it installed if you are running MetaTrader):

   sudo apt-get install wine

   Once Wine is installed you need to configure it. This is pretty easy. As a normal user (Not Root!) run winecfg from a terminal and it should set itself up. If you want to do any more configuration or tweaking, have a look around the tabs, but for now I suggest keeping it as default.

2. From a valid windows installation, copy over all the fonts into your wine installation. It also assumes you told Ubuntu to mount your windows partition in /windows:

   cp /windows/WINDOWS/Fonts/* ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/fonts/

3. Copy two needed DLL files from your valid windows installation:

   cp /windows/WINDOWS/system32/mfc4* ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/system32/

4. Download mt4setup.exe from your favorite broker.

5. Install MT4.
