This problem does not occur with that file on xenial, as it first redirects to an https URI without a space which then redirects to an HTTPS uri with a space (http w/o space -> https w/o space -> https w/ space). In xenial, https->https redirects where handled internally by curl.
Another test (applicable to xenial) is to install ttf-mscorefonts-installer.
And please note: You need to upgrade apt-transport-https for testing, just apt does nothing.
