updmap.cfg

configuration Settings for outline fonts

## Description

The configuration file `updmap.cfg` contains declarative instructions, which will be used to build font map files.

Do not edit this file directly. Run `initexmf --edit-config-file updmap` to edit configuration settings for outline fonts.

## Instructions

`updmap.cfg` can contain the following
instructions:

`dvipsPreferOutline `value``

- Specifies whether &Dvips; prefers
  bitmap fonts or outline fonts if both are available. Valid values are `true` (default) and `false`.

  Independend of this setting, outlines can be forced by putting

      p psfonts_t1.map

  into a configuration file that &Dvips; reads. Bitmaps (for the fonts in question) can be forced by putting

      p psfonts_pk.map

  into a configuration file. Such configuration files are provided, which can be enabled via

      dvips -Poutline ...

  resp.

      dvips -Ppk ...

`LW35 `value``

- Specifies which fonts for the Basic 35 LaserWriter Fonts
  will be used and how their file names are chosen. Valid values:

  `URW`

- &URW; fonts with vendor file names
  (e.g., `n019064l.pfb`).

`URWkb`

- &URW; fonts with berry file names
  (e.g., `uhvbo8ac.pfb`). `URWkb` is the default value.

`ADOBE`

- Adobe fonts with vendor file names
  (e.g. `hvnbo___.pfb`).

`ADOBEkb`

- Adobe fonts with berry file names
  (e.g., `phvbo8an.pfb`).

`dvipsDownloadBase35 `value``

- Specifies whether &Dvips;
  downloads the standard 35 LaserWriter fonts with the document. If these fonts are not downloaded, then they must be available in the &PostScript; printer (interpreter). Valid values are `true` and `false` (default).

  Whatever is specified here, the user can override it by specifying

      dvips -Pdownload35 ...

  resp.

      dvips -Pbuiltin35 ...

  to either download the &LW35; fonts resp. use the build-in fonts.

`pdftexDownloadBase14 `value``

- Specifies whether &pdfTeX; downloads the base 14
  &PDF; fonts. Valid values are `true` (default) and `false`.

  Since some configurations (PostScript / &PDF; tools / printers) use bad default fonts, it is safer to download the fonts. The &PDF; files will get bigger, though.

`dvipdfmDownloadBase14 `value``

- Specifies whether &Dvipdfm; downloads
  the base 14 &PDF; fonts. Valid values are `true` (default) and `false`.

  Since some configurations (PostScript / &PDF; tools / printers) use bad default fonts, it is safer to download the fonts. The &PDF; files will get bigger, though.

`Map `filename``

- Arranges that the contents of
  `filename` will be included in `psfonts.map`.

`MixedMap `filename``

- Arranges that the contents of `filename`
  will be included in `psfonts.map`, unless `dvipsPreferOutline` is set to `false`.

  Mixed means that the fonts referenced in the file are available as bitmap and as outline.
