I'm also seeing this error on 20.04 x86_64 in the UK. The workaround in #6 almost worked; I needed version 3.8 instead of 3.6. I.e. the commands were:
wget http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/pool/contrib/m/msttcorefonts/ttf-mscorefonts-installer_3.8_all.deb sudo dpkg -i ttf-mscorefonts-installer_3.8_all.deb -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1713615 Title: ttf-mscorefonts-installer fails because Redirection from https to http is forbidden To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/msttcorefonts/+bug/1713615/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
