В первых числах фефраля 2003 г. произошло еще одно эпохальное событие. Мастера установки и обновления MiKTeX'а теперь научилсь-таки правильно устанавливать векторные шрифты cm-super, о которых мы уже писали ранее. Теперь даже «непродвинутый» сможет легко компилировать свои тексты в формат PDF. Для «продвинутых» пользователей ниже приводится выдержка из соответствующего сообщения разработчиков MiKTeX'а New Map File Maintanence Procedure.

New Map File Maintanence Procedure

The maintenance procedure for font map files (psfonts.map, ...) has changed with the 03/01/27 version of MiKTEX.

The benefits of the new procedure are:

• Centralized configuration file which is easy to understand (see below)
• Simpler installation of new font packages

These are the most important things to know:

• MkFntMap is a new utility which can be used to create the four font map files dvipdfm\config\psfonts.map, dvips\config\ps2pk.map, dvips\config\psfonts.map, and pdftex\config\psfonts.map.
• The four font map files have been removed from the distribution.
• The update wizard and the setup wizard will call MkFntMap internally to create the four font map files in the local TEXMF tree.
• The PS resource database (psres.dpr) is not needed anymore.

MkFntMap

MkFntMap is based on the Unix shell script updmap, which was developed for the teTEX distribution.

Font map generation is controlled by the configuration file updmap.cfg.

Here is the annotated contents of an exemplary updmap.cfg:

#
# dvipsPreferOutline
#
# Should dvips (by default) prefer bitmap fonts or outline fonts
# if both are available? Independend of this setting, outlines
# can be forced by putting "p outline.map" into a config file
# that dvips reads. Bitmaps (for the fonts in question) can
# be forced by putting "p pk.map" into a config file.
# We provide such config files which can be enabled via
# dvips -Poutline ... resp. dvips -Ppk ...
#
# Valid settings for dvipsPreferOutline are true / false:
dvipsPreferOutline true

#
# LW35
#
# Which fonts for the "Basic 35 Laserwriter Fonts" do you want to use and
# how are the filenames chosen? Valid settings:
#   URW:     URW fonts with "vendor" filenames (e.g. n019064l.pfb)
#   URWkb:   URW fonts with "berry" filenames (e.g. uhvbo8ac.pfb)
#   ADOBE:   Adobe fonts with "vendor" filenames (e.g. hvcbo___.pfb)
#   ADOBEkb: Adobe fonts with  "berry" filenames (e.g. phvbo8ac.pfb)
LW35 URWkb

#
# Map files.
#
# There are two possible entries: Map and MixedMap. Both have one additional
# argument: the filename of the map file. MixedMap ("mixed" means that
# the font is available as bitmap and as outline) lines will not be used
# for applications listed in the "preferBitmap" line.
