@amrita, This implies that the script tries to use the proxy address http://:8080/ to download the fonts, which is obviously an erroneous value.
If you're not using a proxy, you can set the proxy address to blank. Open a terminal and run: $ echo "set msttcorefonts/http_proxy " | sudo debconf-communicate If you're using a proxy to access the net then run the following command (change PROXY with your proxy address, for exemple http://192.168.0.1:3128/) : $ echo "set msttcorefonts/http_proxy PROXY" | sudo debconf-communicate Enter your password when you're asked for it. You can check if the value is correctly set with the debconf-show command Hope this helps. -- Cannot download fonts, "Error parsing proxy URL http://:8080/" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/274421 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
