T1LIBCONFIG(8)						      System Manager's Manual						    T1LIBCONFIG(8)

NAME

       t1libconfig - create the t1lib.config and FontDataBase files for t1lib

SYNOPSIS

       t1libconfig [ -v,--version ] [ -h,--help ] --force ] ] --non-interactive ] [ fontdirectory...  ]

DESCRIPTION

       t1libconfig  scans  a list of directories for Type 1 fonts and font metric files, and generates a configuration file and font database file
       for the t1lib  rasterizer  library  accordingly.   By  default,	it  looks  in  all  subdirectories  of	/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts,  and	in
       /usr/lib/ghostscript.  Extra directories to search may be specified on the command line.  The t1libconfig script tries not to scan the same
       directory twice (this is, however, not foolproof, since /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts and /usr/lib/X11/fonts typically point to the same  direc-
       tory on GNU/Linux systems).

OPTIONS

       -v,--version
	      Print the version of t1libconfig and exit.

       -h,--help
	      Print help about usage and exit.

       --force
	      Force the generation of new configuration files even if these files already exist on the system.

       --non-interactive
	      Don't prompt the user if a problem is encountered.

FILES

       /etc/t1lib/t1lib.config	Contains  configuration  information  for t1lib, including colon-separated lists of paths to Type 1 font files and
				font metrics files, and the location of the default font database file

       /etc/t1lib/FontDataBase	Contains a list of the names of Type 1 font files to be used by t1lib.

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.
