the ebuild probably got removed, since microsoft doesnt have the fonts
for download available anymore.

I think the xfree-4.2.0 ebuild script downloads them from
sf.net/projects/corefont.

But the fonts are available at http://corefonts.sourceforge.net/ :
"# 020815 Microsoft pulls their fonts from their site. Fortunately, according
to the End User License Agreement and the faq I have the right to
redistribute the fonts in unaltered form. This right I intend to exercise."
I think, that there is no problem to have a package for the corefonts, which
downloads the fonts from corefonts.sourceforge.net.
