I've had this happen a few times after install. Usually I find that

perhaps or routine server maintenance?
The only problem is the YOU 'patch' is a script that retrieves the compressed
font package from an external source (currently SourceForge) then
uncompresses and installs the fonts. If the servers are overloaded... or the
files have been moved and the script hasn't been updated accordingly... there
is no mechanism available to the user in YOU to "go back and select a
different download server" :-/
I once actually used the failing (outdated) script as a guide to manually
track down, retrieve and install these fonts. After going to all that trouble
and, in the process, learning what files were needed where, etc., I realized
it would have been a whole lot easier to just copy the files over from
another system... which is why I offered the suggestion that I did.

Carl
