These fonts are not available by default in openSUSE. So we need to install them manually.
Its easy to install, just some basic steps and we will be done.
So lets start:
1st of all we need cabextract, by default it will be installed in openSUSE 11.1 version, but if not then install it by this way.
Open terminal and become root by su and then password.
type:
zypper in cabextract
Now we will use 10.3 script to install the fonts, i had checked it and its working fine.
type:
wget http://download.opensuse.org/update/10.3/scripts/fetchmsttfonts.sh
Now type:
chmod a+x fetchmsttfonts.sh
Now last time type:
sh fetchmsttfonts.sh
And it will install MS fonts for you, to check, open openoffice writer and you will see all fonts there.

Amazing. Despite a partnership between Novell and Microsoft, they still can't get the MS fonts included by default.
Yeh, you are right. But i think that partnership is limited to some exchange like Openoffice improvement etc. And it is more than about a cash flow for Novell.
You can read more in openSUSE forum soapbox area.
a small update to your script:
every download url should look like:
dl.sourceforge.net/project/corefonts/the%20fonts/final/-exe_file_name-
enjoy
@Anonymous:
Can you please explain, what you mean by download url look like. Are you referring to dl in the url?
In this case, you are mentioning source forge, while i am pointing to openSUSE site.
But still my mind is not clear about:
"every download url should look like:"?
