in a hurry, not exactly what you are asking for but Debian has a package
to install Microsft web fonts:  

http://packages.debian.org/unstable/graphics/msttcorefonts.html

The fonts are here:
http://www.microsoft.com/typography/fontpack/

But you have to download these yourself, you can't re-package and
distribute them per Microsoft's license.

HTH HAND
