Hi Rapheal,

If you are searching for a Unicode font this wont help you much, but you still 
may want to take a look here:

http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=34153&release_id=105355

There you can find all/some of Microsoft's TrueType web fonts, that are not 
available anymore too.

As Aryan write:
The files are in .exe format. There are two ways to get a ttf file out of
these, first is by using cabextract which can be found at

http://www.kyz.uklinux.net/cabextract.php3

and the second way is by using Wine. I haven't used cabextract, but I have
heard that it works. Wine, will put a ttf format of the file in
$HOME/.wine/path/to/windows'/font/directory

If you are using Debian cabextract comes with it.

Good luck,
Arash
