NAME
fontimport − import fonts into the teTeX directory structure
SYNOPSIS
fontimport [−d] [−f] [−s] [−t] [−m MF−mode] path ...
DESCRIPTION
fontimport imports TFM and PK font files into appropriate places in the teTeX directory tree and revises teTeX’s filename database accordingly.
Each path may be a font file or a directory, either absolute or relative to the current directory. All subdirectories of a given directory are searched for font files. Don’t specify directory names that are symbolic links, however, since (at least some versions of) find(1) won’t dereference them.
A font’s destination is determined by variables in the file texmf.cnf. By default, fontimport will issue a warning to stderr instead of overwriting an existing font file. The −f flag forces overwriting.
fontimport can cope with font names conforming the 8.3−namescheme, too, so you can import fonts from either a TDS-compliant or MSDOS installation. emTeX’s font libraries are not supported. If you want to import fonts from a font library, you need to unpack it with emTeX’s fontlib utility first.
The full pathname of each font successfully imported is echoed to stdout. When fontimport can not parse a font’s name, it will import the font using a path element of "/unknown/" and issue a warning on stderr.
fontimport tries to guess the mode of PK files. With the -m flag you may specify a fallback mode to be used if the mode can’t be guessed.
Options:
−m MF-MODE
default Metafont mode for PK files if autodetection fails
|
−d |
delete font files after copying (i.e., move them) | ||
|
−f |
force overwrite existing fonts | ||
|
−s |
do not use other destinations than the system’s main texmf tree | ||
|
−t |
test mode: just echo each font’s destination (if any); don’t move or copy |
