Furthermore (according to some complaints I found the other day but haven't
verified) Microsoft has since released newer versions of the same fonts
with different metrics. Unless you like the appearance of the legacy glyphs
in Gimp or something (so the differing line breaks don't matter), I think
few Ubuntu users will want to install ttf-mscorefonts-installer anymore.
Especially since just installing the package can break other things.
