I can't install the Microsoft true type core fonts via YOU in suse 9.2. I tryied in 2 machines already and some different suse mirrors. It downloads the fetchmsttfonts.sh which in turn is only a script that downloads the actual fonts when executed, if I understood. But when the script tries to download the actual fonts, it keeps trying forever. It displays
Installing fetchmsttfonts.sh: "Download Microsoft(r) True Type Core Fonts"
And the percentage bar starts and stays at 99% forever.
All other updates are ok. Does anyone know what might be the problem?
It seems that maybe you are in too much of a hurry. Let it run till it completes, Yes it does take a long time to complete.
I experienced the same problem on my 9.2 Pro system -- with multiple installs. I even let the install run overnight once to make sure I wasn't being too impatient. Check the archives; others have posted about having the same problem with fetchmsttfonts.sh and SUSE 9.2. In the end, I manually downloaded the scr from the sourceforge site, built an rpm and installed the msttfonts with my rpm. I didn't have any problems with that solution. Christopher Shanahan
