A patched version of ttf-corefonts-installer is available in my ppa for
lucid and karmic.
It fixes the downloading and proxy issues and doesn't fail the whole
installation if some fonts failed to download.
For those brave enough please give it a try and report if you succeeded or any
error you may find.
To add the repository open a terminal and run:
$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:jibel/ppa
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install ttf-mscorefonts-installer
Note that the debconf frontend must be set to something else than
non-interactive.
Remember that this is an experimental version of the package, so use it at your
own risk.
Thanks for your help.
