getnonfreefonts

Some font suppliers provide fonts which can be used freely but they disallow charging money for the distribution. Hence, for distributions on CD or DVD it is usually impossible to include these fonts.

getnonfreefonts is a script which downloads and installs these fonts.

Documentation

See the manual page for more information.

Download and Installation

In order to install getnonfreefonts on your system, you need write access to the TeX Live system tree.

Download the installer install-getnonfreefonts to an arbitrary directory
Go (cd) into the directory containing the downloaded file
run: texlua install-getnonfreefonts

Alternatively, if you prefer the command line, run

   wget https://www.tug.org/fonts/getnonfreefonts/install-getnonfreefonts
   texlua install-getnonfreefonts

Some systems (Mac OS X, BSD) provide curl instead of wget. In this case type

   curl --remote-name https://www.tug.org/fonts/getnonfreefonts/install-getnonfreefonts
   texlua install-getnonfreefonts

Usage

After successful installation you can run

   getnonfreefonts --sys --help

   getnonfreefonts --user --help

In order to install fonts you have to invoke either

     getnonfreefonts --sys [other arguments]

     getnonfreefonts --user [other arguments]

Consult the manual page. There is no program getnonfreefonts-sys anymore.

Other TeX Live Distributions

If you installed TeX Live yourself from http://tug.org/texlive, then getnonfreefonts will be installed as it were part of TeX Live itself. If the installer is invoked on Windows, it installs getnonfreefonts for Windows only, otherwise for all platforms.

If you are using a TeX Live distribution which is part of your Unix system, the getnonfreefonts installer avoids to interfere with the system's package manager. In this case only one platform will be supported. The program will be installed at /usr/local/bin, the manual pages at /usr/local/share/man, and the PDF version of the manual page at $TEXMFLOCAL.
