I think the problem is with installing ttf-mscorefonts-installer; I'm not sure, like I said I'm very new to Ubuntu (this is my second day of using it). Any other thing I tried to install also had this problem...help please?

It seems the source location is unavailable, either temporary or permanently. In the middle of the messages it says something about not being provided by MS any more, that may mean they were forced to take the source down. But it's strange that change not to be reflected in where the installer is looking for them.
I guess it's too much work to find and install the fonts one by one.

So what do I do for the software that needs the fonts?

+1 this will do the trick.

This is not the sourceforge server being down. This is a bug that affects some people (but not all):

https://bugs.launchpad.net/debian/+source/msttcorefonts/+bug/431217


So what do I do for the software that needs the fonts?

Some in that Launchpad thread are saying that the fix posted in post #21 works. If you don't want to do that, do you have the ttf files for the MS fonts you want installed? If so, create a hidden folder called '.fonts' in your home directory. Then, simply copy the ttf files to /home/yourusername/.fonts and the fonts will be available. This only works for your user account. If you want fonts installed so that all accounts can access them, post back and I'll post how to do that.

Install:


sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras

I doubt that will work, unfortunately. Ubuntu-restricted-extras simply drags in the package ttf-mscorefonts-installer as a dependency and the OP has already identified this as the problem. They will run up against the same bug that I've linked to.

December 7th, 2009, 12:12 AM
I will try the fix posted in #21, but I'm a little scared since I think I will mess something up.

(And yeah, Coffeecat is right, it didn't work, but thanks anyways Wojox).

I couldn't find the file /var/lib/dpkg/info/ttf-mscorefonts-installer.postinst. What now?

My other suggestion of copying the ttf files into /home/yourusername/.fonts . You say you are a new user of Ubuntu. Does that mean you have been using Windows? If so, just look in C:\Windows\Fonts. All the core font ttf files you need are there.

Oh, forgot about your other suggestion. And yes, I have been using Windows XP.

I'm going to try to copy the files now.

Good luck! I'm logging off now - late here. But I'll check this thread tomorrow in case you need to post again.

December 7th, 2009, 12:40 AM
Since there wasn't a .fonts folder there, I made one and copied all the .tff files into it, but when I try to install an application via the Terminal it still tries to download the MS Fonts.

Did I miss a step or do anything wrong?

wojox
December 7th, 2009, 12:46 AM
Interesting ubuntu-restricted-extras worked for me.

Get rid of the installer:


sudo apt-get --purge remove ttf-mscorefonts-installer

LegendarySandwich
December 7th, 2009, 12:48 AM
Wow, thanks, I think that did it!

If it didn't I will post here again.

Since there wasn't a .fonts folder there, I made one and copied all the .tff files into it, but when I try to install an application via the Terminal it still tries to download the MS Fonts.

Did I miss a step or do anything wrong?

Although wojox's solution stopped the system trying to download the mscorefonts again, if you try to install ubuntu-restricted-extras you'll run into the same problem again because u-r-e will mark the corefonts installer for installation again.

If you do want all the codec goodies (+flash +java) that u-r-e gives you, mark ubuntu-restricted-extras for installation in Synaptic but, before clicking on apply, go to ttf-mscorefonts-installer and unmark it. Now click on apply and, hopefully, the corefonts installer won't bother you again.

If you do decide to download the ttf-mscorefonts-installer_3.0_all.deb file, best of luck, but I fear it may not succeed. Your problem is probably the bug I linked to - it seems to be something to do with a failure of DNS resolution and timeouts although, frankly, I don't understand it. So, however you try to use the ttf-mscorefonts-installer, it will probably fail. Using ubuntu-restricted-extras to install the mscorefonts worked for both wojox and myself because we weren't hit by this weird bug. You were one of the unlucky ones.

By the way, did copying the .ttf files into ~/.fonts work for you?

That is really annoying pasting all that text without putting Code tags around it. next time you paste a good deal of text on here please highlight all text after it is pasted and click # in the toolbar at the top please. Like this:

Oh, sorry, next time I will put code tags around the code. Thanks.

Okay, next time I run the U-R-E I will uncheck those fonts.

And no, copying the fonts didn't work unfortunately.

The problems I had with ttf-mscorefonts-installer on one system was apparently related to the DNS timeout issue mentioned, as a result of my mistake. When I manually added nameservers for networking, I mistyped the IP of the first one as beginning 192 when it should have been 172. So some things worked falling back to the 2nd nameserver, but ttf-mscorefonts-installer apparently timed out before it got that far.

At first I thought sourceforge.net or its DNS was down, but strangely I could access http://sorceforge.net/ with Firefox. When I used the host command to lookup the sourceforge subdomains is when I noticed that I had the wrong IP for one of my nameservers.

I have never, ever had a failure in the dozens of times I have copied ttf fonts into a hidden ~/.fonts folder. So, let's check a few things. Did you make the folder /home/yourusername/.fonts ? There's a dot at the beginning of '.fonts'. It must be all lower-case. Double-check there's not a typo. Are the .ttf files in the ~/.fonts folder? Sorry to ask such an obvious question, but I really cannot see many ways that this can go wrong. Lastly - although I don't think this matters - some of the files will be fontname.TTF rather than fontname.ttf. Try changing the extension to .ttf.

Also - when you say 'didn't work', what do you mean? What apps do you mean? Are the fonts inaccessible in all apps. Have a look in OpenOffice Writer. Are they there? Right-click on the desktop, choose 'Change Desktop Background' and then click on the Fonts tab. When you click on one of those fonts, are the fonts you put in ~/.fonts there? Open firefox > Edit > Preferences > Content tab. Drop down the Default font list. Are your fonts appearing there?

I can post the method for installing .ttf font files system-wide if you want, but I'm really puzzled when you say that putting them in ~/.fonts didn't work.

Yes, right place and folder name. And yes, a lot of the extensions are .TFF instead of .tff.

When I said didn't work, I meant the installer would keep trying to install the fonts. I think all the fonts work in the applications.

Thanks for the help, but I think the problem's already been solved.
