The fonts are still available under the terms of Microsofts original 
license here http://corefonts.sourceforge.net/ and as far as i know the 
installer package is still in debian which should help you to install them.

Anyhow the original problem sounds very much like what happened to me 
with enlightenment when i got the order of the 75dpi and 100dpi fonts 
the wrong way around in my X config. Also make sure you do have all of 
the X fonts installed as I have forgotten them before.

Thanks
Adam
