TeXlive additional fonts getnonfreefonts: Access denied

Post by vrathi13 »

I have downloaded the installer install-getnonfreefonts, following the instructions at this site http://www.latexbuch.de/install-latex-w ... #x1-230005 (3.1.1 Install Additional Fonts). But after entering "texlua install-getnonfreefonts" at the command prompt (without the quotes of course) I get the message "Access denied". What should I do to have these additional fonts finally installed?

Thank You

Hi Vrathi,

welcome to the forum!

Perhaps you need to run that with administrator rights.

You could do it, for sample, by searching cmd.exe with the file explorer, right click on it and choose "run as administrator". Then type that line.
