I am on 18.04, tried
> sudo apt purge ttf-mscorefonts-installer
and then downloaded the package from https://packages.ubuntu.com/eoan/ttf-mscorefonts-installer, which supposedly already fixed the issue as per #49. However, it still tried to download the fonts from Sourceforge, and failed.
There is another problem, which is that the package installation exits successfully even if the download fails.
Using the Debian package worked fine.
