I know they are heavily used under Windows but do you actually have them installed in your OS?

I just use Tahoma and Verdana choices since it's one of the available fonts choices in Google Docs. I don't have msttfcorefonts either. I'm thinking maybe because Epiphany uses Cairo and Pango more than Firefox.
