.TH MKCFM 1 "Release 1.0" "CID Fonts Version 1.0"
|
|
.SH NAME
|
|
mkcfm - create summaries of font metric files in CID font directories
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
.B "mkcfm"
|
|
[\fICID-font-directory-name\fP]
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
There is usually only one CID font directory on the X font path. It is
|
|
usually called \fI/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/CID\fP. If you do not specify
|
|
an argument, \fImkcfm\fP will try to go through the subdirectories of
|
|
that directory, and create one summary of font metric files for each
|
|
CIDFont (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.
|
|
.PP
|
|
If you specify a CID font directory as an argument, \fImkcfm\fP will try
|
|
to go through the subdirectories of that directory, and create one summary
|
|
of font metric files for each CIDFont file and each CMap file it finds.
|
|
.I mkcfm
|
|
will calculate the summaries of the font metric files stored in AFM
|
|
subdirectories of the CID font directory.
|
|
.PP
|
|
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.
|
|
.SH FILES
|
|
.TP 15
|
|
.B .afm files
|
|
Each CID-keyed font file is supposed to have a font metric file
|
|
(.afm file). \fImkcfm\fP creates summary files (.cfm files) of those
|
|
font metric files. \fImkcfm\fP 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.
|
|
.TP 15
|
|
.B .cfm files
|
|
Summaries of font metric (.afm) files created by \fImkcfm\fP.
|
|
.SH "SEE ALSO"
|
|
The rasterizer for CID-keyed fonts in the directory
|
|
\fIxc/lib/font/Type1\fP.
