fonts-installer downloads mscorefonts from corefonts, extracts them to ~/.local/share/fonts/mscorefonts/ and runs fc-cache -fv to refresh font cache so the fonts become immediately available.
Please note: It does not track what files it installs so it only provides an option to remove the entire mscorefonts install folder and when installing it will overrite any file .ttf files with the same name already in ~/.local/share/fonts/mscorefonts.
