     Greetings,

During my attempts to
get playonlinux working, I've manage to successfully install it.
However upon first launch it will try to download true type fonts,
only to fail every time when it reaches tahoma font. It stalls, then
reports "error in downloading fonts". I ran a capture using
wireshark and the problem appears to be on the connection to
microsoft. A wireshark capture confirms this. I've also tried a manual install and get the same resultes. Please advise.

Thank you

You're probably behind a firewall that blocks FTP protocol.

Just signed up to add I am having a similar issue. I can't seem to add them via the Install Packages tab post install either. Does anyone know a work-a-round, I am pretty new to all this but I am guessing there will be a manual way to install the fonts into the seperate prefix directories?

I have just joined and am experiencing the same thing. I've tried adding them after installation via the Install Packages page but without success.
