Hi to Everyone,
On my desktop running under Debian Sarge, I had no problem installing
'msttecorefonts', which was done about 18 months ago. However, now, on
my laptop under Etch, I can't get those fonts installed. Upon launching:
#apt-get install msttcorefonts
the install process starts allright, it even seems to end OK.. except
for one thing :
'warning: /usr/share/fonts/X11/truetype does not exist or is not a
directory'
'warning: /usr/lib/X11/fonts/truetype does not exist or is not a directory'
These directories don't exist indeed... but they don't exist either on
my desktop, where the install was no problem.
Anyway, these are just warnings. After these two lines of warning, here
is what comes next :
'These fonts were provided by Microsoft "in the interest of
cross-platform compatibility". This is no longer the case, but they are
still available from third parties. You are free to download these fonts
and use them for your own use, but you may not redistribute them in
modified form, including changes to the file name or packaging format.'
Once this has been displayed, a download process automatically starts,
and it goes like this :
--21:12:19--
http://surfnet.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/corefonts/andale32.exe
=> './andale32.exe'
Resolving surfnet.dl.sourceforge.net... failed: Connexion terminated
because of waiting time delay expired
and then the process restarts at another address, then a third and a
forth one etc... with always the same failure about expiring waiting
time for resolving. here are the various addresses that have been
attempted by the system :
http://optusnet.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/corefonts/andale32.exe
http://internap.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/corefonts/andale32.exe

http://umn.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/corefonts/andale32.exe
http://switch.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/corefonts/andale32.exe
After all these failed trials, it says :
andale32.exe: No such file or directory
All done, errors in processing 1 file
dpkg : error in treating msttcorefonts (--configure) : post install
sub-process script has returned an error code (1)
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1).
True type fonts are not available. If there is an error in a config
file, I don't know where to find it, and, in any case, I wouldn't know
what http addresses to write instead of those that failed...
Thanks in advance for your help
