15 t1mapper - A tool to help xdvi use all your t1 fonts
16 !!SYNOPSIS
17
18
19 __t1mapper__ [[''OPTIONS''] ''TeX-fontdir
20 Type1-font-file-spec''
21
22
23 __t1mapper__ [[''OPTIONS''] -gs ''GS-fontmap
24 GS-fontdir TeX-fontdir''
25 !!DESCRIPTION
26
27
28 The __t1mapper__ comes with __xdvik.__ It was made to
29 make it simple to make all sorts of Postscript
30 __xdvi.__ The first
31 invocation is to hi-jack fonts from your Ghostscript
32 installation, which will supply __xdvi__ with all the
33 standard T1 fonts it needs. The second is for hi-jacking any
34 other T1 fonts you may have floating around on your
35 systems.
36
37
38 __t1mapper__ relies on a installed and working
39 __texk__ system to be present. In particular it uses
40 __kpsewhich__ to locate the __fontname__ package .map
41 files which maps between Postscript
42 __teTeX__ is one such __texk__
43 system.
44
45
46 When invoked without the __-gs__ option t1mapper will
47 examine each of the fonts specified. It will attempt to
48 determine the Postscript name of the font by looking inside
49 the font file, and if that name has a TeX equivalent it will
50 copy, link or symlink your the file into the TeX font
51 directory you named first on the command line. The name in
52 the TeX font directory will be according to the
53 TeX/KB-fontname scheme, so that the font names used in
54 __.dvi__ files matches the names found in the TeX font
55 directories.
56
57
58 When invoked with the __-gs__ option __t1mapper__ will
59 read the named GS Fontmap file to determine which GS font
60 files correspond to which standard Postscript fonts (GS'
61 version of Times-Roman is not called ''Times-Roman'',
62 it's actually called ''NimbusRomNo9L-Regu''), and then
63 proceed to copy or link the files in the named GS font
64 directory into the named TeX font directory.
65 !!OPTIONS
66
67
68 All options except __-gs__ have to do with how the font
69 files are copied or linked into the TeX font
70 directories:
71
72
73 __-cp__
74
75
76 Copy the files from the ''GS-fontdir'' or matching the
77 ''Type1-font-file-spec'' into the ''TeX-fontdir''.
78 This is the default and will always work.
79
80
81 __-ln__
82
83
84 Hard link the files. This requires the fonts to reside on
85 the same disk, but it will save space, and the files will
86 not disappear from the ''TeX-fontdir'' if they are
87 removed from the source directory.
88
89
90 __-lns__
91
92
93 Symlink the files. This saves space, but if the original
94 files are removed the symlinks will be broken.
95
96
97 __-lnlns__
98
99
100 Attempt hard-link first, if it fails make
101 symlink.
102
103
104 __-lncp__
105
106
107 Attempt hard-link first, if that fails, copy the
108 font.
109 !!EXAMPLES
110
111
112 If your Ghostscript is installed in
113 __/usr/local/share/ghostscript__ and your TeX lives in
114 __/usr/local/teTeX__ then this command might make your GS
115 fonts available to xdvi:
116
117
118 t1mapper -lns -gs \
119 /usr/local/share/ghostscript/5.50/Fontmap \
120 /usr/local/share/ghostscript/fonts \
121 /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf/fonts/type1/gs
122
123
124 The first argument here is the full path to the GS Fontmap.
125 The second is the GS font directory, note the lack of
126 wildcards here (as opposed to the next example). The third
127 argument is the TeX font directory. If it does not exist it
128 will be made. Texk and teTeX uses quite finely structured
129 font directories, and the above reflects this.
130
131
132 If have a Solaris machine with Display Postscript fonts then
133 this command might make them available to xdvi:
134
135
136 t1mapper -lns \ /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf/fonts/type1/gs
137 \ /usr/openwin/lib/X11/fonts/Type1/*.pfa
138
139
140 Here the first argument is the TeX font directory and
141 thereafter comes a wildcard that specifies which fonts to
142 examine for copying/linking into the TeX font
143 directory.
144 !!FILES
145
146
147 __fontname__ Postscript to TeX name mapping files from
148 __http://tug.org/fontname/,__ these are included in
149 teTeX.
150
151
152 __Ghostscript__ fonts from
153 __http://sourceforge.net/projects/ghostscript/__ or
154 __http://www.gnu.org/software/ghostscript/ghostscript.html__
