NAME
updmap - Update font map files for TeX output drivers.
updmap-sys - Update font map files for TeX output drivers system-wide.
SYNOPSIS
updmap [ OPTION ... ] [
COMMAND ... ]
updmap-sys [ OPTION ... ] [
COMMAND ... ]
DESCRIPTION
updmap is a utility that creates font configuration files for
dvips(1), pdftex(1), xdvi(1),
ps2pk(1), gsftopk(1), dvipdfm(1) and (soon) dvipdfmx(1).
In an ideal world, updmap would be unnecessary -- each of these
programs would read the same configuration file to learn what fonts
are available and how they should be treated. As things stand,
however, each of these tools has subtly different requirements and
thereby needs its own font configuration file. updmap creates
font configuration files for all of these programs from a single
source, allowing you to easily keep all the different configuration
files in sync.
updmap reads a configuration file, updmap.cfg(5) and,
depending on the options specified in that file and on the command
line, updmap will write generated map files to a directory of
your choosing (via one of the --*outputdir options), or automatically
determine where to place the files. In the latter case, it tries to
use the tree where the variable TEXMFVAR -- or TEXMFSYSVAR if called
as updmap-sys -- points to.
When used with the options --edit, --setoption,
--enable, --disable, or --syncwithtrees,
updmap will first write updmap.cfg(5) and regenerate the
map files only if this file has been changed. In Debian, updmap has
been adapted so that --enable and --disable do the "right
thing": change the configuration snippets in updmap.d instead,
call update-updmap(1) to regenerate updmap.cfg(5) and
regenerate the map files afterwards. There are some limitations,
though: updmap will regenerate the map files even if
updmap.cfg(5) has not been changed, and --edit and
--syncwithtrees cannot be used.
OPTIONS
The following command-line options are available:
--cnffilefile
Specify a configuration file.
--dvipsoutputdirdirectory
Specify the output
directory for map files generated with dvips syntax.
--pdftexoutputdirdirectory
Specify the output
directory for map files generated with pdftex syntax.
--dvipdfmoutputdirdirectory
Specify the output
directory for map files generated with dvipdfm syntax.
--outputdirdirectory
Specify the output
directory for all generated map files.
The following commands can be substituted for COMMAND:
--edit
Edit the updmap.cfg file.
--help
Show a command and option summary.
--showoptionsitem
Show alternatives for option
item.
--setoptionoptionvalue
Set
option to value, where option is one of:
dvipsPreferOutline
LW35
dvipsDownloadBase35
pdftexDownloadBase14
dvipdfmDownloadBase14
--enablemaptypemapfile
Permanently add or enable a Map or MixedMap for mapfile.
--enable Map=mapfile
Permanently add or enable a Map for mapfile.
--enable MixedMap=mapfile
Add or enable a MixedMap for mapfile.
--disablemapfile
Disable Map or MixedMap for mapfile.
--syncwithtrees
Disable entries in the config file that refer to map files which are
unavailable.
--listmaps
List all active and inactive maps.
--listavailablemaps
List all active and inactive maps, but restrict output to map files
that are available in one of the texmf trees.
FILES
Configuration and input files:
updmap.cfg
Main configuration file. In
texmf/web2c by default, but may be located elsewhere
depending on your distribution. Note for Debian: On Debian
+ that file is generated out of files in /etc/texmf/updmap.d.
+ See update-updmap(8) or the TeX-on-Debian document.
dvips35.map
Map file for standard 35 PostScript fonts for
use with dvips(1).
pdftex35.map
Map file for standard 35 PostScript fonts for
use with pdftex(1).
dvipdfm35.map
Map file for standard 35 PostScript fonts for
use with dvipdfm(1).
ps2pk35.map
Map file for standard 35 PostScript fonts for
use with ps2pk(1).
Output files:
psfonts.map
For dvips(1).
Soft link
against psfonts_t1.map if option dvipsPreferOutline active,
else against psfonts_pk.map.
psfonts_pk.map
For dvips(1).
Without information from MixedMap files.
(Setting of dvipsPreferOutline ignored.)
psfonts_t1.map
For dvips(1).
With information from MixedMap files.
(Setting of dvipsPreferOutline ignored.)
download35.map
For dvips(1).
Always downloads the standard 35 fonts.
(Setting of dvipsDownloadBase35 ignored.)
builtin35.map
For dvips(1).
Never downloads the standard 35 fonts.
(Setting of dvipsDownloadBase35 ignored.)
pdftex.map
For pdftex(1).
Soft link
against pdftex_dl14.map if option pdftexDownloadBase14 active,
else against pdftex_ndl14.map.
pdftex_dl14.map
For pdftex(1).
Always downloads the standard 14 fonts.
pdftex_ndl14.map
For pdftex(1).
Never downloads the standard 14 fonts.
dvipdfm.map
For dvipdfm(1).
Soft link
against dvipdfm_dl14.map if option dvipdfmDownloadBase14 active,
else against dvipdfm_ndl14.map.
dvipdfm_dl14.map
For dvipdfm(1).
Always downloads the standard 14 fonts.
dvipdfm_ndl14.map
For dvipdfm(1).
Never downloads the standard 14 fonts.
ps2pk.map
Similar to psfonts.map file, but
forces all fonts to be downloaded, so this map file can be used with
xdvi(1) and ps2pk(1).
teTeX configuration files for dvips(1) tuned for use with updmap:
config.builtin35
Loads builtin35.map instead
of psfonts.map.
config.download35
Loads download35.map instead
of psfonts.map.
config.outline
Loads psfonts_t1.map instead
of psfonts.map.
config.pdf
Loads psfonts_t1.map instead
of psfonts.map and has additional optimizations for PDF generation.
config.pk
Loads psfonts_pk.map instead
of psfonts.map.
config.www
Loads psfonts_t1.map instead
of psfonts.map.
(For compatibility with previous versions of teTeX.)
