Solved this with
sudo -s
apt-get --reinstall install ttf-mscorefonts-installer

Looks like running apt-get with sudo does not get the proxy definition, see sequence:
$ env | grep http
http_proxy=http://proxymachine:808

$ sudo env | grep http
<no output>

$ sudo -s
# env | grep http
http_proxy=http://proxymachine:808

when logging in as root the proxy is back in environment.
