NAME

       allneeded - force the calculation of all fonts now needed

SYNOPSIS

       allneeded [-r] files ...

DESCRIPTION

       allneeded  forces  the calculation of all fonts that are needed to preview a set of dvi files. Just specify where the program should search
       for files on the commandline.  The fonts generation is triggered by running dvips(1) over all accessible dvi-files.  Therefore,	the  fonts
       are created in the resolution needed by dvips.

       If the -r flag is specified, the command dvired(1) will be used instead of dvips.

       allneeded does not recalculate existing fonts (as long as the Metafont mode does not change).

SEE ALSO

       alldc(1), allcm(1), dvips(1), dvired(1), fontimport(1), fontexport(1).
