Right after Woody release, MS stopped serving these font on the net.
It is still available in SF.NET.
In order to get it, you need to install unstable/testing version of
program like me.
msttcorefonts:
Installed: 1.1.0
Candidate: 1.1.0
Version Table:
*** 1.1.0 0
800 http://http.us.debian.org testing/contrib Packages
70 http://http.us.debian.org unstable/contrib Packages
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
1.0.0 0
500 http://http.us.debian.org stable/contrib Packages
Read Chaper 6 of my document and set testing path in
/etc/apt/sources.list and set its preferences to something like 80.
Then:
# apt-get update && apt-get install -t testing msttcorefonts
You are all set :-)
