I am unable to install nonfreefonts (revision 2017-06-02) in Linux Mint 21 (Vanessa) and TexLive 2022.

wget http://tug.org/fonts/getnonfreefonts/install-getnonfreefonts
sudo texlua install-getnonfreefonts
sudo getnonfreefonts --sys -a && sudo mktexlsr

Resolving mirror.aut.ac.nz (mirror.aut.ac.nz)... 156.62.1.213 Connecting to mirror.aut.ac.nz (mirror.aut.ac.nz)|156.62.1.213|:443... connected. ERROR: cannot verify mirror.aut.ac.nz's certificate, issued by ‘CN=DigiCert SHA2 High Assurance Server CA,OU=www.digicert.com,O=DigiCert Inc,C=US’: Unable to locally verify the issuer's authority. To connect to mirror.aut.ac.nz insecurely, use `--no-check-certificate'. [download failed]

Download failed. Please try again.

I edited the getnonfreefonts.pl as root in /usr/local/bin and changed line 496 from:

system ("$WGET", "$getfont_url") == 0

to

system ("$WGET", "$getfont_url","--no-check-certificate") == 0

Re-running the script returns the same error messages.

Is there a workaround/solution to this?

  • Does it also not work when you download the installer script directly from the webpage (https://tug.org/fonts/getnonfreefonts/) from the browser? – Marijn Aug 08 '22 at 17:39
  • It makes no difference if I download the getnonfreefonts.pl script via browser, wget or curl. They all download the script just fine (I prefer working from the command line). The script installs fine into /usr/local/bin. Running the script to download the fonts is not fine returning the message: "Resolving mirror.aut.ac.nz (mirror.aut.ac.nz)... 156.62.1.213 Connecting to mirror.aut.ac.nz (mirror.aut.ac.nz)|156.62.1.213|:443... connected.

  • I see, I mistakingly thought that the first wget command that you mentioned was the one that failed because tug.org served the file from a mirror - I realize now that both assumptions were incorrect. – Marijn Aug 09 '22 at 12:43
