msttcorefonts on standalone machine

[SoftGround]

Is there any way to get msttcorefonts without having a local internet connection?

The deb install requires an internet connection to do a wget from sourceforge.

If I download the <font>.exe files on another machine, can I use them with the deb install or will it ignore them/try to overwrite them?

OK So I looked further back in the search results and found this.

Incase anyone is interested. What I did was:

It works on a standalone machine or a machine with too slow a modem (e.g. connexant with free linuxant driver!)

Download all the *.exe font files from Source Forge corefonts page (see: 'the fonts') (http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=34153) on your networked machine. (7.5M in total)

Install msttcorefonts (http://packages.ubuntu.com/dapper/x11/msttcorefonts)with no internet connection (partially fails)
(needs cabextract (http://packages.ubuntu.com/dapper/utils/cabextract), so you may need that installed first)
I have UbuntuPlus installed - there may be other dependencies if you do not.

Make a new directory /tmp/mstt
Copy the *.exe font files into the /tmp/mstt directory.

Run the script:
sudo /usr/sbin/update-ms-fonts /tmp/mstt
Delete the temporary directory

Then to tidy up the install do:
sudo apt-get install msttcorefonts

Forgive me if I shouldn't be bumping an old thread, but this is still a problem and last night with no net access and my aptoncd attempt broken I was getting annoyed. Thanks for the help

I had no 'update-ms-fonts' in usr/sbin/
help?
