I recently downloaded the fetchmsttfonts script using YOU. When I run the script, as root, I get the following:

Rick, You seem to have gotten further than I did. I tried it last evening and when YOU went out for the fonts, everything came to a standstill. I am guessing it is a Sourceforge problem at this point though, as YOU works fine to process that far.

Rick & Patrick, It seems the SourceForge mirror fetchmsttfonts is trying to reach is down or no longer valid. The solution is to change the URL in the fetchmsttfonts script. Change the section "FONTS=" in: /var/lib/YaST2/you/scripts/fetchmsttfonts and /var/lib/YaST2/you/mnt/i386/update/8.2/scripts/fetchmsttfonts to: FONTS=" \ http://umn.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/corefonts/webdin32.exe \ http://umn.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/corefonts/andale32.exe \ http://umn.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/corefonts/trebuc32.exe \ http://umn.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/corefonts/georgi32.exe \ http://umn.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/corefonts/verdan32.exe \ http://umn.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/corefonts/comic32.exe \ http://umn.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/corefonts/arialb32.exe \ http://umn.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/corefonts/impact32.exe \ http://umn.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/corefonts/arial32.exe \ http://umn.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/corefonts/times32.exe \ http://umn.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/corefonts/courie32.exe \ " I checked and this mirror works :-) cheers, Marcel

Yes, it appears to be a problem on the Sourceforge server. -- Mike Fabian http://www.suse.de/~mfabian 睡眠不足はいい仕事の敵だ。

Maybe it's a nice idea to change the script so that it first checks if the mirror is up and if not, change to the next mirror (perhaps even the nearest)?

I just talked to the author of fetchmsttfonts and he will do something like that. -- Mike Fabian http://www.suse.de/~mfabian 睡眠不足はいい仕事の敵だ。

Cool! Now let's hope MS doesn't start being "difficult" again.

BTW, what do those Japanese (?) characters behind my name and in your sig say?
