No professional, but one of the easiest solutions is to use the 3.6 ttf-mscorefonts-installer package rather than the 3.4 version.
wget http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/pool/contrib/m/msttcorefonts/ttf-mscorefonts-installer_3.6_all.deb -P ~/Downloads will download the package to your Downloads folder, and sudo apt install ~/Downloads/ttf-mscorefonts-installer_3.6_all.deb will install the package. That is, if you are using at least Ubuntu 16.04, if using an earlier version install the .deb package with gdebi, Software Centre or whatever you use to install local deb packages.
