The problem is that if you're using an apt specific proxy (like apt-cacher-ng) then you'll have your apt configured with an http proxy (i.e. 192.168.1.1:3142), then it will reject general non-apt requests (like a request for an exe file download, as the installer does).

This means that the ttf-mscorefonts-installer fails to actually download any fonts, even though internet connectivity is fine. There doesn't seem to be a way to disable the proxy logic (a button you can check on the EULA page would help a lot).
