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)'s   and   updmap-sys(8)'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.
