[Bug 1437764] Re: ttf-mscorefonts-installer doesn't work from Ubuntu Software Center because of EULA

[Sb]

I can't believe that this bug isn't getting more attention. Here's
another embarrassing report in a review of 15.04:

Unfortunately installing the "Ubuntu Restricted Extras" package from within the Ubuntu Software Center has a major flaw. During the installation a license acceptance box is supposed to appear for using Microsoft's TrueType fonts.

Sometimes the license acceptance box appears behind the Software Centre
window. You can access the box by clicking on the "?" icon in the
launcher.

Even worse though is that sometimes the acceptance message doesn't
appear at all.

To be honest the easiest way to install the "Ubuntu Restricted Extras" package is to use the terminal.

Title:
  ttf-mscorefonts-installer doesn't work from Ubuntu Software Center
  because of EULA

Status in Ubuntu Software Center:
  New
Status in msttcorefonts package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Hello, on Vivid 15.04 Beta 2, the package ttf-mscorefonts-installer
  installs from the Ubuntu Software Center but doesn't actually download
  and install the proprietary fonts. The reason appears to be that the
  package requires first agreeing to an EULA before downloading the
  fonts, and apparently the Software Center can't handle that. Please
  make the Software Center pop up a GUI to accept the EULA.
