The problem is that if you're using an apt specific proxy (like apt- cacher-ng) then you'll have your apt configured with an http proxy (i.e. 192.168.1.1:3142), then it will reject general non-apt requests (like a request for an exe file download, as the installer does).
This means that the ttf-mscorefonts-installer fails to actually download any fonts, even though internet connectivity is fine. There doesn't seem to be a way to disable the proxy logic (a button you can check on the EULA page would help a lot). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/820383 Title: ttf-mscorefonts-installer must not take care of apt-proxy when download fonts from http To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/msttcorefonts/+bug/820383/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
