That is strange. The msttcorefonts script just calls wget, and wget is
supposed to just obey any *_proxy variables that are set.

Are you sure that the http_proxy environment variable is actually set in
the same context that the package is installed in as that you use to
invoke wget?

Differences might be that you are running wget as a normal user while
the installation process runs as root. Or that you run it through sudo,
which I think strips environments variables out.
