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 :-)
