The md5 errors did occur for me too. They seem to only happen when I don't have mhash installd.
Maybe mhash should be added as a dependency for yaourt.

@Arup: Sourceforge is tmpy down
Edit pkgbuild to use mirror:

_sfpath="http://sourceforge.mirrorservice.org/c/co/corefonts/the%20fonts/final/"

@LazyLucretia: It builds for me. Try to clean the build directory.

impact32.exe fails the md5sum validity test.

@birdflesh: Thanks for the explanation.

@andreyv you can refer to my 2013-01-30 comment about Tahoma font. I believe this is the same reason that Tahoma was not included in this package when it was available through the official repos. Versioning also follows the official package which when moved to AUR was on its 2.0-3 version.

About https, you will notice that trying to download an https url on sf with curl or wget will always redirect to an http location, so I think there is no real point in using https.

Hello,

Two remarks:

- http://corefonts.sourceforge.net/ shows the latest version is 2.5, but here it is 2.0.
- https://sourceforge.net/projects/corefonts/files/the%20fonts/final/ also contains wd97vwr32.exe, which contains the Tahoma font according to corefonts changelog, but this package does not extract this font.

EDIT: Also the upstream files should be available through HTTPS now.

Does not work: 404 error on andale32. When I open the link to it in Firefox, I am redirected to a page ( https://sourceforge.net/projects/corefonts/files/the%20fonts/final/andale32.exe/download?use_mirror=heanet ) that says "Your download is starting in 5 seconds", so maybe that might be the problem.

When I use the patch from dustinphipps, it just worked.

It works again, sorry for bothering you and thanks for the reply!
