NAME
update-updmap
- generate
updmap.cfg
files for all the system trees
SYNOPSIS
update-updmap
[option ...
]
DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents
update-updmap,
a program that was written for the Debian distribution.
Overview
update-updmap
is used to generate
updmap(1)Ns's
and
updmap-sys8Ns's
configurations files
/var/lib/texmf/updmap.cfg-TEXLIVEDIST
which is the link target of
/usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/web2c/updmap.cfg
and
/var/lib/texmf/updmap.cfg-DEBIAN
which is the link target of
/usr/share/texmf/web2c/updmap.cfg
from the files with names ending in
`.cfg'
located in
/var/lib/tex-common/fontmap-cfg/texlive/
and
/var/lib/tex-common/fontmap-cfg/texmf/
respectively.
Any TeX package shipping map files in one of the trees
/usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist
or
/usr/share/texmf
should also provide files in one of the above
directories containing the respective lines for
updmap.cfg
file.
In order to configure (enable additional entries, disable
system provided entries, etc), the normal
updmap(1)
mechanism should be used. Please see the man page details.
OPTIONS
- --check
-
Executes additional checks that all necessary files are present in the
kpathsea database. Don't use this in maintainer scripts.
- --quiet
-
don't write anything to the standard output during normal operation
- --help
-
print a summary of the command-line usage of
update-updmap
and exit
- --version
-
output version information and exit
Note that the
-v
option, which turns on verbose mode, is deprecated. We are currently in a
transition phase where quiet mode is still the default (therefore,
--quiet
has no effect), but
update-updmap
will be verbose by default as soon as enough packages use
--quiet
in their maintainer scripts.
SYNTAX FOR THE .CFG FILES
The
`.cfg'
files under
/var/lib/tex-common/fontmap-cfg/
should contain valid configuration lines for
updmap(1).
Usually, they will consist of lines of following one of these forms:
Map <foo.map>
MixedMap <bar.map>
KanjiMap <baz.map>
The
MixedMap
form should only be used if the font is available in both bitmap and scalable
formats (this way, it won't be declared in the default map file for Dvips that
is used
when
dvipsPreferOutline
is set to
`false'
in
updmap.cfg )
The KanjiMap form should only be used for map files defining Japanese
font maps.
FILES
/var/lib/tex-common/fontmap-cfg/texlive/*.cfg
/var/lib/tex-common/fontmap-cfg/texmf/*.cfg
/var/lib/texmf/updmap.cfg-TEXLIVEDIST
/var/lib/texmf/updmap.cfg-DEBIAN
DIAGNOSTICS
update-updmap
returns 0 on success, or a strictly positive integer on error.
