Hey, sorry for the late reply. Yes, I looked at the links and the posts. The
only arguments that I found are:

1 - Existing MS font installation scripts or instructions are broken
2 - Some PDFs without embedded Windows fonts look bad, or they *may* give
errors when a font is not found.

Well,
1 - This is not an answer to my question, really. 
   Q: Why do we want ice-cream?
   A: Because all ice-cream trucks are broken.
Who cares? 
2 - In my 12 years of Unix experience, I did not encounter such a PDF file.
Assuming such a file exist (I am very curious to see this PDF file. It makes me
wonder how Windows fonts can make a document look better. <rant>I guess I am
tortured enough at work every day by those Windows fonts</rant>) can one not
ask the PDF creator/distributor to provide a proper PDF file?

Having the infinitesimal probability of accidentally installing Windows fonts
on my Linux box irritates me enough. But we are in somewhat of a democracy. If
you can find a package reviewer, and prove your way around the licensing and
the packaging guidelines, you might ave a shot.

Best
