I created the script ages ago, but I’m glad it partially helped you out.

had to modify it slightly to work for me – had to change the addresses that wget was using to use the kent mirror (even though I’m in South Africa – our one was just failing).. then it worked fine..

Also, if the script gets stuck at trying to connect over and over, you can always manually download all the files listed in the wget part of the above script from a mirror – like:http://sourceforge.net/projects/corefonts/files/the%20fonts/final/webdin32.exe/download?use_mirror=kentfor getting ‘webdin32.exe’then put them all in the /tmp/mscorefonts directory that the script created, comment out the ‘wget’ parts in the script and run it and it should work.

This is what worked for me anyway.. peace

Funny, it worked for all of those people, but not for me. Your script did not return any *.exe files but a bunch of download.* where * is a number files. I changed your script to
#Extract all .tff filescabextract * -F*.ttf -L
and it correctly extracted all of the font files.
Then some problem with locks came up which I am now trying to solve. Incidentally, I have
Ubuntu 11.10.

you're awesome for doing this and posting it. Eventually I will learn how to do these things too, and can post tons of stuff as well with all of the ideas that I have!
Great job!

I would have though Firefox would pull from the systems fonts, but I’d recommend you do a search for that. Best of luck
