Not even worth mentioning.
There are tons of free true-type fonts for Linux on the internet, from SourceForge (freetype.org) down to sharware and commercial vendors.
Do a google search using "linux free truetype fonts -microsoft" and take your pick.
I did a list for you but I was using IE 5 on my newly reinstalled w2k box here at work, and IE crashed, losing the dozen of so sites I picked out for you. Say your sorry, Bill G!
