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.

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 http://tug.org/fonts/getnonfreefonts/install-getnonfreefonts
texlua install-getnonfreefonts
After successful installation you can run
getnonfreefonts --help
in order to learn how to install fonts.
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.
