I got the MS TT Core Fonts without installing msttcorefonts. I had the same problem as you did, so I went to the sourceforge web site and downloaded (and extracted) them myself. I had to install them in the appropriate place under /usr/local myself too.
However, you might be installing msttcorefonts to satisfy a dependency upon another program. If you do what I did to get the fonts, you'll have to use an equiv (which I didn't do) to allow the other software to install.
Evidently, the place that sourceforge stores those fonts has changed, and the script that downloads them isn't smart enough to adjust.
