NAME
       fontimport - import fonts into the teTeX directory structure

SYNOPSIS
       fontimport [-d] [-f] [-t] [-m MF-mode] path ...

DESCRIPTION
       fontimport imports TFM and PK font files into appropriate places in the
       teTeX directory tree and revises teTeX's filename database accordingly.

       Each path may be a font file or a directory, either absolute  or	 rela‐
       tive to the current directory.  All subdirectories of a given directory
       are searched for font files.  Don't specify directory  names  that  are
       symbolic	 links,	 however,  since  (at  least some versions of) find(1)
       won't dereference them.

       A font's destination is determined by variables in the file  texmf.cnf.
       By  default, fontimport will issue a warning to stderr instead of over‐
       writing an existing font file.  The -f flag forces overwriting.

       fontimport can cope with font names conforming the 8.3-namescheme, too,
       so  you can import fonts from either a TDS-compliant or MSDOS installa‐
       tion. emTeX's font libraries are not supported. If you want  to	import
       fonts  from  a font library, you need to unpack it with emTeX's fontlib
       utility first.

       The full pathname of each font successfully imported is echoed to  std‐
       out.   When  fontimport can not parse a font's name, it will import the
       font using a path element of "/unknown/" and issue a warning on stderr.

       fontimport tries to guess the mode of PK files.	With the -m  flag  you
       may specify a fallback mode to be used if the mode can't be guessed.

       Options:

       -m MF-MODE
	      default Metafont mode for PK files if autodetection fails
       -d delete
	      delete font files after copying (i.e., move them)
       -f force
	      overwrite existing fonts
       -t test
	      just echo each font's destination (if any); don't move or
	      copy
