13 !!SYNOPSIS

16 __fontimport [[-d] [[-f] [[-s] [[-t] [[-m MF-mode] path
17 ...__
18 !!DESCRIPTION
19
20
21 ''fontimport'' imports TFM and PK font files into
22 appropriate places in the teTeX directory tree and revises
23 teTeX's filename database accordingly.
24
25
26 Each __path__ may be a font file or a directory, either
27 absolute or relative to the current directory. All
28 subdirectories of a given directory are searched for font
29 files. Don't specify directory names that are symbolic
30 links, however, since (at least some versions of)
31 find(1) won't dereference them.
32
33
34 A font's destination is determined by variables in the file
35 texmf.cnf. By default, ''fontimport'' will issue a
36 warning to __stderr__ instead of overwriting an existing
37 font file. The ''-f'' flag forces
38 overwriting.
39
40
41 ''fontimport'' can cope with font names conforming the
42 8.3-namescheme, too, so you can import fonts from either a
43 TDS-compliant or MSDOS installation. emTeX's font libraries
44 are not supported. If you want to import fonts from a font
45 library, you need to unpack it with emTeX's fontlib utility
46 first.
47
48
49 The full pathname of each font successfully imported is
50 echoed to stdout. When ''fontimport'' can not parse a
51 font's name, it will import the font using a path element of
52 ''stderr.__
53
54
55 ''fontimport'' tries to guess the mode of PK files. With
56 the ''-m'' flag you may specify a fallback mode to be
57 used if the mode can't be guessed.

61
