Bug#961205: winetricks: cannot isntall font the download of PowerPointViwer.exe hans with server down

[Thierry Vilmart <thierry.vilmart@genero.se>]

OK we can use the old url that still works.


I would recommend to install the official microsoft Powerpoint viewer
using wine.
And then winetricks would find it in the installed wine folder.

Maybe winetricks will need changes.

Why is it not possible?

For licensing it is better not to ship the exe as part of the debian
package.

Regards
Thierry
