NAME

       getnonfreefonts   -   download   and  install  fonts  which  cannot  be
       distributed on a CD

       getnonfreefonts-sys - download  and  install  fonts  system-wide  which
       cannot be distributed on a CD

SYNOPSIS

       getnonfreefonts [options] [fontlist]

       getnonfreefonts-sys [options] [fontlist]

DESCRIPTION

       Some  font  suppliers  provided fonts which can be used freely but they
       disallow that money  is  charged  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.
       Actually,  it  first  downloads  the program getfont<year> from tug.org
       which is then executed.  getfont<year> does the real work.  It will  be
       updated occasionally to support more fonts.  <year> denotes the TeXLive
       release.

       getnonfreefonts  and  getnonfreefonts-sys  are  identical  except  that
       getnonfreefonts  installs files to $TEXMFHOME while getnonfreefonts-sys
       installs files to $TEXMFLOCAL.

       getfont<year> will not be installed permanently  on  your  system.   It
       only  exists in a temporary directory while getnonfreefonts is running.

       Run getnonfreefonts --lsfonts to get a list of supported fonts.

OPTIONS

       -a, --all
              Install all fonts.

       -d, --debug
              Provide additional messages for debugging.  These  messages  are
              sent to STDERR.

       -f, --force
              Install fonts even if they are installed already.

       -h, --help
              Print  a help message.  Nothing is installed but the directories
              where the fonts will be installed and  the  temporary  directory
              are  shown.   <PID>  will  be  replaced by the process ID of the
              current process.

       -l, --lsfonts
              List all available fonts and tell  whether  they  are  installed
              already.

       --sys  If  you  call  getnonfreefonts  with the --sys option it behaves
              exactly like getnonfreefonts-sys.

       -v, --verbose
              Be more verbose.  This option is only needed for debugging.

       --version
              Print version number.

ENVIRONMENT

       One of the environment variables TMP, TEMP, or TMPDIR must exist.  They
       are  used to determine where to put the temporary files.  The directory
       must exist and must be writable.  /tmp will be  used  if  none  of  the
       variables is defined.

REQUIREMENTS

       Though  this program is supposed to be used with TeX Live it might work
       with other TeX distributions too.  The programs wget  or  curl,  unzip,
       and  kpsewhich  have  to be installed and a recent version of updmap is
       required which supports the --enable option.
