In Adept, go to "View" > "Manage Repositories"
Find the lines that read:

deb http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu dapper universe
deb-src http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu dapper universe

(you may have "ch" rather than "gb" or another country code, this can be 
left unchanged). You may want to make the same changes to the 
dapper-security lines as well, although I don't know if "multiverse" 
actually receives any security updates.

Double-click on "universe" and change it to "universe multiverse", and 
select "apply". Use "Fetch Updates" and then a search for "corefonts" 
should bring up the required package.
