Wouldn't it be easier to get the ms fonts, use cabextract
and put the resulting *.TTF files in a .fonts directory
in your home directory?
Not very debian-like, but does the trick.
The fonts should show up in all your menus (Konqueror,
Mozilla, Opera looks a lot better), just click away.
Although I must say I like some of the goofy fonts
that are included with Knoppix.
