fontimport(1) teTeX fontimport(1)NAMEfontimport - import fonts into the teTeX directory structure
SYNOPSISfontimport [-d] [-f] [-t] [-m MF-mode] path ...
DESCRIPTIONfontimport 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 rela‐
tive 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 over‐
writing 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 installa‐
tion. 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 std‐
out. 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
delete font files after copying (i.e., move them)
-f force
overwrite existing fonts
-t test
just echo each font's destination (if any); don't move or
copy
