[Report] arial32 font download failed

[RyuKay24]

Which dependency? arial32

Problem type

• download failed/broken url

Describe the problem arial32 font unable to download due to broken link or server down error: Failed to download [https://cfhcable.dl.sourceforge.net/project/corefonts/the%20fonts/final/arial32.exe]

Same, to me the correct link is: https://sourceforge.net/projects/corefonts/files/the%20fonts/final/arial32.exe

and not https://cfhcable.dl.sourceforge.net/project/corefonts/the%20fonts/final/arial32.exe

I would also verify other links that contains dl.sourceforge https://github.com/search?q=repo%3Abottlesdevs%2Fdependencies+dl.sourceforge&type=code

I download all fonts separatly, arial32 and trebuc32 have wrong url.

The problem is that https://sourceforge.net/projects/corefonts/files/the%20fonts/final/arial32.exe is a link to the download page, not the resource itself. When accessing that page in a browser it loads html and triggers a download after a brief delay. In my case the actual download link was https://versaweb.dl.sourceforge.net/project/corefonts/the%20fonts/final/arial32.exe?viasf=1. This is where the original urls we had came from. However since they are hard-coded if the url structure/server changes the download url breaks, such as in this case.

With that being said I just tested https://sourceforge.net/projects/corefonts/files/the%20fonts/final/arial32.exe out with requests (which is what we use internally) and it seems like it redirects properly so I have made a PR to update all sourceforge urls.

Sorry not sure if this is the right place to ask this, but is there a workaround to be able to make a new bottle in the meantime before this fix gets pushed out in the next release? Was going to set up bottles today after distro hopping, but I've not been able to make a new bottle because it errors out when trying to download the Arial font

edit: figured out you can just run it offline 👍

I managed to do the following (using flatpak)

cd <somewhere>
git clone https://github.com/xioren/dependencies.git

The repo above is the repo with the PR that sets the right URL for the fonts

If you are using flatpak, with flatseal modify the permission of bottles

• allow bottles to access <somewhere>/dependencies
• add the following env variable LOCAL_DEPENDENCIES=<somewhere>/dependencies

To check that it works launch bottles from command line:

flatpak run com.usebottles.bottles

You should see the following log line:

(INFO) Using local dependencies repository at <somewhere>/dependencies
