DESCRIPTION

16       updmap is a utility that creates font configuration files for dvips(1),
17       pdftex(1),  xdvi(1),  ps2pk(1),  gsftopk(1),  dvipdfm(1)   and   (soon)
18       dvipdfmx(1).  In an ideal world, updmap would be unnecessary -- each of
19       these programs would read the same configuration  file  to  learn  what
20       fonts  are  available and how they should be treated.  As things stand,
21       however, each of these tools  has  subtly  different  requirements  and
22       thereby  needs  its  own  font configuration file.  updmap creates font
23       configuration files for all of these programs  from  a  single  source,
24       allowing  you  to  easily keep all the different configuration files in
25       sync.
26
27       updmap reads a configuration file, updmap.cfg(5) and, depending on  the
28       options  specified  in  that  file and on the command line, updmap will
29       write generated map files to a directory of your choosing (via  one  of
30       the  --*outputdir  options),  or automatically determine where to place
31       the files.  In the latter case, it tries to  use  the  tree  where  the
32       variable  TEXMFVAR  points  to.   When  used  with  the options --edit,
33       --setoption, --enable, --disable, or --syncwithtrees, updmap will first
34       write  updmap.cfg(5) and regenerate the map files only if this file has
35       been changed.
