Downloading and installing https://packages.debian.org/sid/all/ttf-
mscorefonts-installer/download works flawlessly.
A lot of people are affected by this bug:

At least 3 people (myself included) confirm the new version of this
package works with Ubuntu 16.04.

Title:
ttf-mscorefonts-installer 3.4+nmu1ubuntu2 fails to install core fonts
and should be updated to version 3.6 from Debian
Status in msttcorefonts package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
As noted in
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/msttcorefonts/+bug/1371783/comments/45,
the current 3.4 version of ttf-mscorefonts-installer searches for the
font files in an incorrect network location. The consequence of this
is that the core fonts are never installed.
The Debian (upstream) version 3.6 of ttf-mscorefonts-installer
searches for the font files in the correct network location, and will
successfully install the core fonts.
This problem occurs with Ubuntu 16.04 as of July 2016. (And with
earlier versions, including current LTS.)
