Hi!
The LMTX distribution comes with few binaries, texlua being none of them.
The getnonfreefonts https://www.tug.org/fonts/getnonfreefonts/ script seems simple enough, but it relies on a global “kpse” which it uses to get kpse variables. Therefore luametatex --luaonly can’t execute it.
I suppose we can make it work (because lmtx can call out to kpse if needed) but it's not worth the trouble because afaiks it depends on perl, does all kind of map things, probably donwloads more than one needs and I actually prefer to be explicit when it comes to fonts.
Is there a way to get those fonts with the standalone LMTX distribution? (1) make a tree:
tex/texmf-fonts/fonts/data/nonfree (2) download the fonts you want (only opentype I guess) and put them there (3) mtxrun --generate (4) mtxrun --script font --reload The texmf-fonts tree is never overwritten and there is no need to figure out paths (just use ..../data/vendor). We're not talking of many fonts.
