XGLYPH(1)						      General Commands Manual							 XGLYPH(1)

NAME

       xglyph - demonstration program for the t1lib font rasterizer library.

SYNOPSIS

       xglyph [ fontfile...  ]

DESCRIPTION

       This  manual  page  documents  briefly  the xglyph program.  This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution because the
       original program does not have a manual page.

       xglyph is a program which demonstrates the capabilities of the t1lib library.  It allows the user to view an arbitrary character or  string
       rendered in the various ways pgossible with the library.  By default, it writes a log file named t1lib.log in the current directory.

       If  invoked  with no arguments, it will attempt to read the global configuration file and font database.  It will also accept any number of
       filenames on the command line, in which case these are treated as font files to be loaded instead of the default font database.

       --checkPerformance
	      Do some simple performance tests while rasterizing.

       --checkCopyFont
	      Check that copying fonts works.

       --checkConcatGlyphs
	      Check that concatenating glyphs works.

       --checkBadCharHandling

       --checkDefaultEncoding
	      Set a default encoding vector.

ENVIRONMENT

       In the Debian GNU/Linux version of this program, the environment variable T1LIB_CONFIG, if set, points to an alternate  configuration  file
       with which to initialize the library.

SEE ALSO

       FontDataBase(5), t1libconfig(8).

       xglyph  is  much  more fully documented in the LaTeX documentation that accompanies the upstream t1lib distribution.  This documentation is
       installed in PostScript and source formats with the t1lib-dev package in /usr/share/doc/t1lib-dev, and is also accessible through the  dwww
       system.

NAME

       mkcfm - create summaries of font metric files in CID font directories

SYNOPSIS

       mkcfm [CID-font-directory-name]

DESCRIPTION

       There  is  usually only one CID font directory on the X font path. It is usually called /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/CID. If you do not specify
       an argument, mkcfm will try to go through the subdirectories of that directory, and create one summary of font metric files for	each  CID-
       Font (character descriptions) file and each CMap (Character Maps) file it finds. The summaries of font metric files are put in the existing
       CFM subdirectory. The CFM subdirectories are created when CID-keyed fonts are installed.

       If you specify a CID font directory as an argument, mkcfm will try to go through the subdirectories of that directory, and create one  sum-
       mary  of  font metric files for each CIDFont file and each CMap file it finds.  mkcfm will calculate the summaries of the font metric files
       stored in AFM subdirectories of the CID font directory.

       Those summaries are needed by the rasterizer of CID-keyed fonts to speed up the response to X font calls. If those files do not exist,  CID
       rasterizer  will  have  to go through usually large font metric files, and calculate the summaries itself each time the font is called. You
       will notice a substantial wait on a call to a large CID-keyed font.

FILES

       .afm files     Each CID-keyed font file is supposed to have a font metric file (.afm file). mkcfm creates summary  files  (.cfm	files)	of
		      those  font metric files. mkcfm should be run whenever a change is made to the files stored in the subdirectories of the CID
		      font directory. For example, it should be run when new CID fonts are installed.

       .cfm files     Summaries of font metric (.afm) files created by mkcfm.

SEE ALSO

       The rasterizer for CID-keyed fonts in the directory xc/lib/font/Type1.
