## 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)](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/man/updmap/1/markdown)'s  and  [_updmap-sys_(8)](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/man/updmap-sys/8/markdown)'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)](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/man/updmap/1/markdown)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)](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/man/updmap/1/markdown).  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.
