You would probably be better off installing theubuntu-restricted-extraswhich includes the core MS .ttf fonts which includes Tahoma. See this post for info.

what you can do is a simple method.
download tahoma font.
Then copy that downloaded font and all you have to do is paste it in this folder:
/usr/share/fonts/truetype
But since this folder is protected, you will have to open this folder as root. i.e right click and OPEN AS ROOT. provide your password and paste it there. THATS ALL...!!!

@DavidFoerster i) we're not lawyers, if Microsoft has an issue with a very well know page, I'm sure they have the legal muscle to deal with it. ii) Since the Microsoft page for the Tahoma font actually links directly to the fonts.com page in this answer, I think it's safe to assume that no copyright is being violated and Microsoft is fine with this redistribution.
– terdon♦
Jul 8 '16 at 12:45
@terdon: I agree that Microsoft seems to be fine with distribution in general. However Fontpalace.com is not Fonts.com and distributes the font without a license notice (the page says “License: Unknown”); I doubt that the distribution is still legal under that circumstance.
– David Foerster
Jul 8 '16 at 13:20
I circumvented the issue by editing the answer to link to the Font.com page instead. That should resolve it.
– David Foerster
Jul 8 '16 at 13:22
@DavidFoerster I stand corrected, I thought the link was already pointing to fonts.com. Sorry. However, it really isn't our job to deal with copyright issues. And downvoting for that reason seems strange to say the least.

I had the same error. You have to do a "sudo" and issue the command one by one :
$ wget http://download.microsoft.com/download/ie6sp1/finrel/
$ cabextract -F 'tahoma*ttf' IELPKTH.CAB
$ sudo mv -f tahoma*ttf /usr/share/fonts/truetype/msttcorefonts/
$ chmod 644 /usr/share/fonts/truetype/msttcorefonts/tahoma*
$ fc-cache -v
$ rm -f IELPKTH.CAB

You can give try with script:
#!/bin/bash
[ ! -f /usr/share/fonts/truetype/msttcorefonts/tahoma.ttf -o ! -f /usr/share/fonts/truetype/msttcorefonts/tahomabd.ttf ] &&
wget https://sourceforge.net/projects/corefonts/files/OldFiles/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* &&

I had the same error. You have to do a "sudo" and issue the command one by one :
$ wget http://download.microsoft.com/download/ie6sp1/finrel/
$ cabextract -F 'tahoma*ttf' IELPKTH.CAB
$ sudo mv -f tahoma*ttf /usr/share/fonts/truetype/msttcorefonts/
$ chmod 644 /usr/share/fonts/truetype/msttcorefonts/tahoma*
$ fc-cache -v
$ rm -f IELPKTH.CAB

Download Tahoma.
Right click and "Open With Fonts".
When it opens click on Install.
Done.

You would probably be better off installing the
ubuntu-restricted-extraswhich includes the core MS .ttf fonts which includes Tahoma. See this post for info.– douggro

@douggro you are wrong, tahoma ist not inside the
ttf-mscorefonts-installerpackage, its only Times New Roman and some other fonts.– redanimalwar
