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 distribu‐
       tion.

   Overview
       update-updmap  is  used  to  generate  updmap(1)'s  and  updmap-sys(8)'s configurations 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 re‐
       spective 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 operation

       --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 default 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
       /var/lib/texmf/updmap.cfg-DEBIAN

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