Ubuntu – installing msttcorefonts on ubuntu

aptUbuntu

I'm generating PDF's with something called PrinceXML, it seems it requires a package called: msttcorefonts

I have been unable to use aptitude to get it and I recived this as an error:

$ sudo apt-get install msttcorefonts
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
Package msttcorefonts is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
E: Package msttcorefonts has no installation candidate

How can I get this package installed?
