Fix Netbeans fonts after installing Wine

As I wasn’t going to use Wine that much and broking my fonts pissed me off I decided to completelly uninstall it.

sudo apt-get remove ttf-mscorefonts-installer
sudo apt-get remove wine1.6 wine1.6-i386 wine-mono0.0.8 wine1.6-amd64 wine-gecko2.21 winetricks
sudo apt-get autoremove
rm -rf ~/.wine ~/.winetrickscache ~/winetrickscache ~/winetricks

After all this fonts still were wrong but finally this fixed it:

sudo apt-get remove fonts-unfonts-core

Don’t forget to close and open again Netbeans.
