Still no tahoma (and tahomabd) in Jaunty.  As a workaround, this script
will do it for you.

[ ! -f /usr/share/fonts/truetype/msttcorefonts/tahoma.ttf -o ! -f 
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/msttcorefonts/tahomabd.ttf ] &&
wget 
http://download.microsoft.com/download/ie6sp1/finrel/6_sp1/W98NT42KMeXP/EN-US/IELPKTH.CAB
 &&
cabextract -F 'tahoma*ttf' IELPKTH.CAB &&
mkdir -p /usr/share/fonts/truetype/msttcorefonts/ &&
mv -f tahoma*ttf /usr/share/fonts/truetype/msttcorefonts/  &&
chmod 644 /usr/share/fonts/truetype/msttcorefonts/tahoma*  &&
fc-cache -v &&
rm -f IELPKTH.CAB &&
echo "Installed Tahoma" 

Run it as root. What it does is:
1. Check whether you already have the fonts; if so exit.
2. Get the file Microsoft distribute.
3. Extract the fonts we care about.
4. Move them into place.
5. Update the font config caceh.
6. Tidy up.
