I installed the fonts using the msttcorefont deb and they have
improved viewing webpages with Netscape a little. Depending on your
reasons for not wanting to use MS products it may or may not be
worth it for you. You can check this link to read the EULA for the fonts
http://www.microsoft.com/typography/fontpack/eula.htm
or read about the font pack itself here
http://www.microsoft.com/typography/fontpack/default.htm
My own feeling was that if the fontpack somehow violated Debian policy
that the msttcorefont deb wouldn't be in testing and unstable.

check out Paul D. Smiths site. He has excellent instruction on
installing TT fonts
