First check if the fonts were installed properly with 

fc-list | grep arial

you should get something like:

/usr/share/fonts/truetype/msttcorefonts/arialbd.ttf

and some more lines.

If this is not the case, try reinstalling the fonts with:

sudo apt-get install --reinstall ttf-mscorefonts-installer

You could also try to refresh the fonts cache with:

sudo fc-cache -f -v

There is a manual way of installing the fonts, described here: Installation of fonts in ubuntu 14.04
