Re: [SLE] Microsoft fonts update

any ideas?

Hi Allen,

The 'update' is really just a script that downloads the fonts and a required
utility from sourceforge.net and installs them. If the server is busy (or
offline temporarily) the script can time out. I've experienced this several
times in the past. If you wait a few hours or until the next day (sometimes
two+) the 'patch' will be processed correctly and the fonts will install
without incident.

If you're feeling ambitious or are on a really tight schedule, you can
download the script to dissect it and figure out how to get the fonts
installed manually. I did this once and it really isn't worth it (a PITA)

hth & regards,

Carl
