     NAME    [Toc]    [Back]
	  type1xfonts -	build X	style font directory for Type1 fonts

     SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]
	  type1xfonts [-v] [-t type1-outline-dir] [-x x-font-dir] [-e
	  extension] [-m ps2xlfd_map]

     DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]
	  type1xfonts is a utility normally run	during the
	  installation process which creates a Type1 font directory
	  suitable for use with	the X server or	font server.  Symbolic
	  links	are made to Type1 fonts	elsewhere on the system	and a
	  fonts.scale file is created. After the links are made,
	  type1xfonts will run mkfontdir to generate the necessary
	  fonts.dir file.  If some condition exists that prevents
	  type1xfonts from effectively generating a directory, the
	  utility at least attempts to create a	fonts.dir file with a
	  "0" in it to indicate	an empty font directory; if a
	  fonts.dir file already exists, it is left alone.

	  Warning: The old contents of fonts.scale will	be overwritten
	  and symbolic link names are removed before creating the new
	  links.

     OPTIONS    [Toc]    [Back]
	  type1xfonts supports the following getopt(3) style command
	  line options:

	  -v  Verbose output (not very verbose).

	  -d  Debug output.

	  -t type1-outline-directory
	      Specifies	the directory containing the Type1 fonts to
	      use.  If unspecified, the	directory is
	      /usr/lib/DPS/outline/base.

	  -x x-font-directory
	      Specifies	the directory to construct symbolic links in
	      and a fonts.scale	file.  If unspecified, the directory
	      is /usr/lib/X11/fonts/Type1.

	  -e font-extension
	      Specifies	the extension to be appended to	the symbolic
	      link names.  If unspecified, the extension is .pfa
	      indicating a text	Type1 font.

	  -m ps2xlfd_map
	      Specifies	the PostScript to XLFD mapping file.  This
	      overrides	the use	of the PS2XLFD_MAP environment
	      variable and the default /usr/lib/X11/fonts/ps2xlfd_map
	      location.	 This file and any files in the	same directory

	      ending in	a dot-started suffix will be searched for
	      mappings.	 For example, you can create a file
	      /usr/lib/X11/fonts/ps2xlfd_map.local for your own	local
	      mappings.

	  -r root
	      Specifies	the root directory.  This command is useful
	      for exitops run from the mini-root at install time when
	      /	is really /root.

     SEE ALSO    [Toc]    [Back]
	  mkfontdir(1),	fs(1), X(1)

     ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES    [Toc]    [Back]
	  PS2XLFD_MAP environment variable determines where to find
	  the file supplying the mapping from Type1 font names to X
	  XLFD names.  If unset, /usr/lib/X11/fonts/ps2xlfd_map	is
	  used.
