updmap(1) teTeX updmap(1)NAMEupdmap - Update font map files for TeX output drivers.
SYNOPSISupdmap [ OPTION ... ] [ COMMAND ... ]
DESCRIPTIONupdmap is a utility that creates font configuration files
for dvips(1), pdftex(1), xdvi(1), ps2pk(1), gsftopk(1),
and (soon) dvipdfm(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 the --outputdir option),
or automatically determine where to place the files. In
the latter case, it uses the following heuristic: if VAR-
TEXMF is set and the VARTEXMF tree contains a writable
dvips/config directory, that directory is used. Otherwise
updmap uses the TEXMFMAIN directory.
OPTIONS
The following command-line options are available:
--cnffile file
Specify a configuration file.
--outputdir directory
Specify the output directory for generated map
files.
--nohash
Do not run texhash(1).
--nomkmap
Do not recreate existing map files.
--quiet
Reduce verbosity.
The following commands can be substituted for COMMAND:
--edit Edit the updmap.cfg file.
--help Show a command and option summary.
--showoptions item
Show alternatives for option item.
--setoption option value
Set option to value, where option is one of
o dvipsPreferOutline
o LW35
o dvipsDownloadBase35
o pdftexDownloadBase14
--enable maptype mapfile
Add or enable a Map or MixedMap.
--disable mapfile
Disable Map or MixedMap for mapfile.
--listmaps
List all active and inactive maps.
FILES
Configuration files:
updmap.cfg
Main configuration file. In texmf/web2c by
default, but may be located elsewhere depending on
your distribution.
pdftex35.map
Map data for basic 35 PostScript files for use with
pdftex(1).
ps2pk35.map
Map data for basic 35 PostScript files for use with
ps2pk35(1).
dvips35.map
Map data for basic 35 PostScript files for use with
dvips(1).
Output files:
psfonts.map
For dvips(1). With dvipsPreferOutline and dvips-
DownloadBase35 enabled.
psfonts_pk.map
As psfonts.map, but without information from
MixedMap files. (Setting of dvipsPreferOutline
ignored.)
psfonts_t1.map
As psfonts.map, but with information from MixedMap
files. (Setting of dvipsPreferOutline ignored.)
download35.map
As psfonts.map, but always downloads the standard
35 fonts. (Setting of dvipsDownloadBase35
ignored.)
builtin35.map
As psfonts.map, but never downloads the standard 35
fonts. (Setting of dvipsDownloadBase35 ignored.)
pdftex.map
Font map file for pdftex(1). (Set with pdftexDown-
loadBase14.)
pdftex_dl14.map
As pdftex.map, but always downloads the standard 14
fonts.
pdftex_ndl14.map
As pdftex.map, but never downloads the standard 14
fonts.
ps2pk.map
Similar to dvips(1) 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 tuned for use with updmap:
config.builtin35
Loads buildin35.map.
config.download35
Loads download35.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.)
config.gstopk
Loads psfonts_t1.map.
