UPDATE-UPDMAP(8) System Manager's Manual UPDATE-UPDMAP(8)
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 config-
urations 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 op-
eration
--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 de-
fault 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

DIAGNOSTICS
update-updmap returns 0 on success, or a strictly positive integer on er-
ror.
