I strongly disagree!

The space was put in the URL by the original corefonts SourceForge project way back in 2002, and has been there since then!

The space was there when apt 1.2.12~ubuntu16.04.1 successfully handled the redirects on 2016-09-26 and on 2016-11-04.

Now apt 1.2.15ubuntu0.2 fails the handle the space, and that is quite simply called a regression.

Also, the failure that I report is more complex than mishandling space encoding, see the bottom of comment #1 for the weirder part (various HTTP failures depending on.. the presence of the target file on disk).
