Use following package from Sarge (testing):
msttcorefonts - Installer for Microsoft TrueType core fonts
Woody one is not functional due to MS policy change.
add testing contrib section to /etc/apt/sources.list
apt-get update
apt-get install msttcorefonts
remove testing contrib section
Or use apt preference mechanism etc. if you want to be an expert.
Read "Debian Reference" Section 9.4 and chapter 6 to get started.
