Whenever i download any packages using the synaptic package manager, it also tries to download some compatibility fonts by microsoft that it says were for inter-platform compatibility but are currently available with the third parties.
Doing so, it always fails, saying "cannot resolve the server...". I just want to do something that makes synaptic not download that in the future...i just wanna del this package info from the package manager's memory....

wat shud i do?

The package in question is probably ttf-mscorefonts-installer. Find it in Synaptic and uncheck the installation box.
