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 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.
OPTIONS¶
The following command-line options are available:
- --cnffile file
- Specify a configuration file.
- --dvipsoutputdir directory
- Specify the output directory for map files generated with dvips syntax.
- --pdftexoutputdir directory
- Specify the output directory for map files generated with pdftex syntax.
- --dvipdfmoutputdir directory
- Specify the output directory for map files generated with dvipdfm syntax.
- --outputdir directory
- Specify the output directory for all 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:
- dvipsPreferOutline
- LW35
- dvipsDownloadBase35
- pdftexDownloadBase14
- dvipdfmDownloadBase14
- --enable maptype mapfile
- Add or enable a Map or MixedMap for mapfile.
- --enable Map=mapfile
- Add or enable a Map for mapfile.
- --enable MixedMap=mapfile
- Add or enable a MixedMap for mapfile.
- --disable mapfile
- 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.
- 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).
TeXLive configuration files for dvips(1) tuned for use with updmap:
- config.builtin35
- Loads buildin35.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 and TeXLive.)
- config.gstopk
- Loads psfonts_t1.map instead of psfonts.map.
