My question has been asked before, but the answer does not work for me: TeXLive getnonfreefonts-sys error: untrusted certificate from tug.org

The script getnonfreefonts is unable to install the fonts and I get:

--2021-11-06 14:47:39-- https://www.tug.org/~kotucha/getnonfreefonts/getfont.pl Resolving www.tug.org... 94.23.251.76 Connecting to www.tug.org|94.23.251.76|:443... connected. ERROR: The certificate of 'www.tug.org' is not trusted. ERROR: The certificate of 'www.tug.org' has expired. ! Error: Can't execute wget. C:\texlive\2021\bin\win32\runscript.tlu:915: command failed with exit code 5:

If I change https to http in the code of the script I get instead

Connecting to www.tug.org|94.23.251.76|:80... connected. HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 302 Found Location: https://tug.org/~kotucha/getnonfreefonts/getfont.pl [following] --2021-11-06 17:55:04-- https://tug.org/~kotucha/getnonfreefonts/getfont.pl Resolving tug.org... 94.23.251.76 Connecting to tug.org|94.23.251.76|:443... connected.

Is this a temporary and/or known problem?

I recently faced the same problem and solved it by changing line 496 (may be different in your version) in C:\texlive\2020\texmf-dist\scripts\getnonfreefonts\getnonfreefonts.pl from

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

to

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

Of course this is a security risk because you are not verifying the SSL certificate but it provided the quick-fix I needed.
