Can everyone uninstall ttf-mscorefonts-installer using

sudo apt-get remove ttf-mscorefonts-installer

This should remove the MS fonts. Please check whether the Ghostscript font problems go away then.

The font files of the MS fonts are in

/usr/share/fonts/truetype/msttcorefonts/

See

/etc/defoma/hints/ttf-mscorefonts-installer.hints

The pre-uninstall script of ttf-mscorefonts-installer is supposed to remove the MS fonts. Here is what it does for the case of problems, for manual clean-up:

defoma-font purge-all /etc/defoma/hints/ttf-mscorefonts-installer.hints
cd /usr/share/fonts/truetype/msttcorefonts && \
   rm -f `cat /var/lib/msttcorefonts/ms-fonts`
rm -f '/usr/share/doc/msttcorefonts/READ_ME!.gz'
rm -f '/usr/share/doc/ttf-mscorefonts-installer/READ_ME!.gz'
rm -r /var/lib/msttcorefonts/ms-fonts
rmdir --ignore-fail-on-non-empty /usr/share/fonts/truetype/msttcorefonts
