yes...msttcorefonts is in testing and unstable. It's a script
that will automagically download the fonts from the MS site and
install them.

I'd recommend looking at Paul D. Smith's webpage on installing
TrueType fonts in Debian.

http://www.paulandlesley.org/linux

at the bottom he has links to installing the fonts under XFree86.4.X
or Debian2.2

I followed his instructions for installing under XFree86.4x and it was
simple and easy.

Thank you Paul :)
