I solved the problem by downloading (manually) the 3.6 version of 
ttf-mscorefonts-installer from debian
(https://packages.debian.org/de/sid/all/ttf-mscorefonts-installer/download). 
installing that package with gnome's software center (and probably also 
ubuntu's software center) works perfectly.

Probably this is a workaround and not a solution

The problem appeared after upgrading from 15.10 gnome-ubuntu flavour to
its 16.04 LTS version (amd64)
