@user68186: doesn't appear to be the same error. Am I correct in stating that the problem is with Sourceforge?

Some of the answers to the question I linked above tells you how to directly download theexefile and extract the contents manually. It may very well be a a change in Sourceforge. If it is, the maintainer of thettf-mscorefonts-installerhas to update the code to fix the problem. However, that would be a bug-report for that package. Bug reports are off topic here as well.

howefield on Ubuntu Forums, provided answer:
Create a folder in ~/home called mscorefonts and download the fonts from :
https://sourceforge.net/projects/corefonts/files/the%20fonts/final/
and store them in the /home/$USER/mscorefonts folder that you created earlier, then run..
sudo dpkg-reconfigure ttf-mscorefonts-installer
You should be prompted to give the path for the downloaded files and the rest should be self explanatory.
I then ran "sudo fc-cache -f -v" which worked Ok.
