Hi Lars,
I don't think that the getnonfreefonts help message is a good place for
basic kpathsea documentation. I'm wondering how people can be aware
of getnonfreefonts if they didn't look into the TeX Live manaul already.
BTW, if you run getnonfreefonts --help, it prints to screen where it
would install the files.
Directories:
temporary: '/tmp/501-reinhard/getfont-<PID>'
install: '/home/reinhard/texmf'
> $TEXMFLOCAL does not really sound global...
...but this is not getnonfreefonts specific.
Regards,
Reinhard

Microsoft isn't the answer. Microsoft is the question, and the answer is NO.
