Not yet. I installed Playonlinux and got this error. When installing Steam via Playonlinux (for Quake Live), it also promted that it needs these files. It downloaded (or said it downloads) the files and I could start Steam. But 1 day later the popup came again. I wanted to try 2 more things: 1) Installing wine, perhaps wine fetches the fonts correctly (I read that somewhere) 2) copying the files from my installation on my laptop. Do you know, which files exactly I need and where are they?
Now I am on my laptop, tomorrow I will have access to my desktop again.
It's not too big of a deal anyways, as Playonlinux and Steam via Playonlinux (and thus Quake Live) run without problems. It's just annoying at the moment.

  package ttf-mscorefonts-installer 3.4+nmu1ubuntu2 (utopic) fails to
  install/upgrade

Status in msttcorefonts package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I've been trying to upgrade/update 'ttf-mscorefonts-installer' for the
  past week, but the install/upgrade fails with  a 'andale32.exe Hash
  Sum mismatch" error:

  I expect it to complete the install/upgrade, but it constantly chokes
  on 'andale32.exe', and generates a notification after each boot.
