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  tem-
       porary 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 getnon-
              freefonts-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 deter-
       mine  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 TeXLive it might work with other TeX  dis-
       tributions too.  The programs wget, unzip, and kpsewhich have to be installed and a recent
       version of updmap is required which supports the --enable option.


BUGS
       Please send bug reports to Reinhard Kotucha <reinhard.kotucha AT web.de>.
