fontimport - import fonts into the teTeX directory structure
fontimport [-d] [-f] [-s] [-t] [-m MF-mode] path ...
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
