Comment 23 for bug 1607535

Well, nothings perfect. There's a bug I didn't notice because I ran the
script inside the directory where the fonts go. It's important that the
script not be there, so it's better with an added 'cd' command:

> #!/bin/bash
>
> # grab the raw fonts required by mscorefonts-installer
>
> if [ $# -ne 1 ] ; then
> echo " *** Error: $0 needs exactly one argument: the name of an empty
> directory where the fonts will go"
> exit 1
> fi
>
> cd $1

> webdin32.exe ; do
> wget
> https://freefr.dl.sourceforge.net/project/corefonts/the%20fonts/final/$font
> done
>
> sudo apt-get remove --purge ttf-mscorefonts-installer
> sudo apt-get install ttf-mscorefonts-installer
