Having installed getnonfreefonts, trying sudo getnonfreefonts --sys luximono gives me either one of the following errors:

curl: (55) getpeername() failed with errno 22: Invalid argument
curl: (7) Failed to connect to mirrors.ctan.org port 80: Operation timed out

Using sudo getnonfreefonts --sys vntex-nonfreeinstalls VnTex without problem, but all other fonts do not work.

Running the command with --debug gives me this:

  • Indeed, it seems that there are some problems. Be patient and retry tomorrow. – egreg Jan 16 '18 at 22:36
  • I'm not sure if it's related, but also www.ctan.org seems down. – egreg Jan 16 '18 at 23:24

    I'm voting to close this question as off-topic because the issue was due to announced maintenance of the main server for CTAN – egreg Jan 17 '18 at 12:20
  • Ok. Fair enough. It is not a question on Tex after all, even though it is one that Tex uses may have. – Kenji Jan 17 '18 at 12:22
  • As it was scheduled maintenance, the question has become obsolete. Not that it was a bad one. – egreg Jan 17 '18 at 12:24

So the problem was indeed that the servers for ctan.org were down. I retried this morning and managed to install the fonts. Perhaps these errors are too cryptic for me, who don't understand much about curl, but if you get the errors below, it means that the server is likely down.

curl: (7) Failed to connect to mirrors.ctan.org port 80: Operation timed out
curl: (55) getpeername() failed with errno 22: Invalid argument
