updmap.cfg
can contain the following
instructions:
dvipsPreferOutline value
Specifies whether Dvips prefers
bitmap fonts or outline fonts if both are available. Valid values are
true
(default) and
false
.
Independend of this setting, outlines can be forced by putting
p psfonts_t1.map
into a configuration file that Dvips reads. Bitmaps (for the fonts in question) can be forced by putting
p psfonts_pk.map
into a configuration file. Such configuration files are provided, which can be enabled via
dvips -Poutline ...
resp.
dvips -Ppk ...
LW35 value
Specifies which fonts for the “Basic 35 LaserWriter Fonts” will be used and how their file names are chosen. Valid values:
dvipsDownloadBase35 value
Specifies whether Dvips
downloads the standard 35 LaserWriter fonts with the document. If
these fonts are not downloaded, then they must be available in the
PostScript printer (interpreter). Valid values are
true
and false
(default).
Whatever is specified here, the user can override it by specifying
dvips -Pdownload35 ...
resp.
dvips -Pbuiltin35 ...
to either download the LW35 fonts resp. use the build-in fonts.
pdftexDownloadBase14 value
Specifies whether pdfTeX downloads the base 14
PDF fonts. Valid values are
true
(default) and false
.
Since some configurations (PostScript / PDF tools / printers) use bad default fonts, it is safer to download the fonts. The PDF files will get bigger, though.
dvipdfmDownloadBase14 value
Specifies whether Dvipdfm downloads
the base 14 PDF fonts. Valid values are true
(default) and false
.
Since some configurations (PostScript / PDF tools / printers) use bad default fonts, it is safer to download the fonts. The PDF files will get bigger, though.
Map filename
Arranges that the contents of
filename
will be included in psfonts.map
.
MixedMap filename
Arranges that the contents of filename
will be included in psfonts.map
, unless
dvipsPreferOutline
is set to
false
.
“Mixed” means that the fonts referenced in the file are available as bitmap and as outline.
