    Hello

    I'm trying to install Fonts using the "Download Fonts" application in Odyssey WB folder but it constantly gives this message

    Connecting to kent.dl.sourceforge.net [212.219.56.167]:80... failed: No route to host
    Retrying
    ....

    It looks like a Network Settings problem but other network apps such as OWB and Grunch works perfectly across the network.

    How to repair this? I need to have Arial fonts downloaded; currently webpages show with inappropraite fonts. Thanks.

    Which version of OWB are you using? the last time I tried an old one many of the downloads seemed broken, but the last version of OWB had a fixed version that worked fine, but then that was a month ago and locations change.

    Grunch has displayed it as Outdated and I've started to download the newer version. After it completes, I'll post the result.

    Hello

    It must have been definitely a problem with the version, because after I updated to the newest version 1.8, first the "Download Fonts" has worked and then the correct fonts in OWB appeared.

    Problem solved.

    Hello folks,

    I did several small essays during the weekend and I managed to download the m$ truetype fonts. The problem comes from the wget command included in 'owb/datas' version 1.8.2 of 2009. it is very or even too old. Trying with version 1.19.3 of July 2015, available at http://morphos-files.net/download/wget, I almost succeed, an argument is asked '--no-check-certificate'. I then modify the script for downloading and installing the fonts and it works.

    <Script>
    ; OWB font downloader

    .KEY foo
    .BRA {
    . KET}

    failat 21

    Echo "Welcome to OWB font downloader!"

    If not exists c: xadUnFile
    Requestchoice> nil: "OWB font downloader" "You need to have a functional XADMaster in your system" "Ok"
    quit 5
    endif

    Requestchoice> env: OWBch {$$} "OWB font downloader" * Do you want to download and install fonts? * * OWB needs to download ~ 4MB of fonts. * N * Installing fonts will result in copying a few ttf fonts SYS: Fonts / _ttf "" Yes "" No "
    If not val "$ OWBch {$$}" eq "1"
    Unsetenv OWBch {$$}
    quit
    endif
    Unsetenv OWBch {$$}

    Echo> t: fetchfont {$$} ".KEY F * NC: wget --no-check-certificate --tries 10 --waitretry 10 http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/corefonts/the%20fonts/ \ N \ n \ n \ n \ n \ n \ n \ n \ n \ n \ n \ n \ n \ n \ n \ n \ n " .

OWB WILL NOT WORK * "*" Ok * "* nquit 22 * ​​Nendif"
    Protect "t: fetchfont {$$}" +

    "T: fetchfont {$$}" andale32
    "T: fetchfont {$$}" arial32
    "T: fetchfont {$$}" arialb32
    "T: fetchfont {$$}" comic32

    "T: fetchfont {$$}" webdin32

    Delete "t: fetchfont {$$}" "t: ff_tmp {$$}" all quiet

    Echo "* NDownload full"
    </ Script>

    There I put c: wget to use the latest version instead of the old one. However, why does this argument have to be added to the wget command ? Me, I do not know.

    Could anyone change the tags to indicate that this is an amigados script ?

    Isn't that version 1.16.3?

    > why does this argument have to be added to the wget command ?

    That's because MorphOS doesn't have a system-specified location for CA certificates so wget wouldn't know where to find them for verification, even if installed.

    http://www.gnu.org/software/wget/manual/html_node/HTTPS-_0028SSL_002fTLS_0029-Options.html

    Use the 'code' tags.

    Hi everyone

    I tried this version but hit the same problem. Sourceforge, as far as I can tell, no longer houses the fonts.

    So I end up with "OWB will not work." after various statements that it cannot load the very first font (andale I think).

    Does anyone know the site where I can fetch those fonts? Of course it will mean modifying the script.

    Thanks in advance for any advice.

    RD

    Thank you. I will try your explanation tomorrow. If you hear no further from me it means that your suggestion worked! RD

    Hi Robdel,

    you must copy files from archive to sys: then launch the installation script in OWB drawer.

    Sorry, it's my fault, I will add a Readme file to explain that.

    Just had the same issue with certificate error when running the download font program.
    I did not use the script, but did it manually by downloading the fonts exe files from here
    https://sourceforge.net/projects/corefonts/files/the%20fonts/final/
    And then use 7za to extract them and copy all the .TTF files to SYS:MorpOS/Fonts/_ttf/
