   NAME
         download - host resident PostScript font downloader

   SYNOPSIS
         download [options] [files]

   DESCRIPTION
         download prepends host resident fonts to files and writes the results
         on the standard output.  If no files are specified, or if - is one of
         the input files, the standard input is read.  download assumes the
         input files make up a single PostScript job and that requested fonts
         can be included at the start of each input file.  The following
         options are understood:

         -f        Force a complete scan of each input file.  In the absence
                   of an explicit comment pointing download to the end of the
                   file, the default scan stops immediately after the
                   PostScript header comments.

         -p printer
                   Check the list of printer-resident fonts in
                   /etc/lp/printers/printer/residentfonts before downloading.

         -m name   Use name as the font map table.  A name that begins with /
                   is the full pathname of the map table and is used as is.
                   Otherwise name is appended to the pathname of the host font
                   directory.

         -H dir    Use dir as the host font directory.  The default is
                   /usr/lib/lp/postscript.

         Requested fonts are named in a comment (marked with %%DocumentFonts:)
         in the input files.  Available fonts are the ones listed in the map
         table selected using the -m option.

         The map table consists of fontname-filename pairs.  The fontname is
         the full name of the PostScript font, exactly as it would appear in a
         %%DocumentFonts:  comment.  The filename is the pathname of the host
         resident font.  A filename that begins with a / is used as is.
         Otherwise the pathname is relative to the host font directory.
         Comments are introduced by % (as in PostScript) and extend to the end
         of the line.

         The only candidates for downloading are fonts listed in the map table
         that point download to readable files.  A font is downloaded once, at
         most.  Requests for unlisted fonts or inaccessible files are ignored.
         All requests are ignored if the map table can't be read.

   EXAMPLES
         The following map table could be used to control the downloading of
         the Bookman font family:


   7/91                                                                 Page 1

   download(1)          (Line Printer Spooling Utilities)          download(1)


           %
           % The first string is the full PostScript font name. The second string
           % is the file name - relative to the host font directory unless it begins
           % with a /.
           %

             Bookman-Light            bookman/light
             Bookman-LightItalic      bookman/lightitalic
             Bookman-Demi             bookman/demi
             Bookman-DemiItalic       bookman/demiitalic


         Using the file myprinter/map (in the default host font directory) as
         the map table, you could download fonts by issuing the following
         command:

               download -m myprinter/map file

   DIAGNOSTICS
         An exit status of 0 is returned if files were successfully processed.

   NOTES
         The download program should be part of a more general program.

         download does not look for %%PageFonts: comments and there is no way
         to force multiple downloads of a particular font.

         We do not recommend the use of full pathnames in either map tables or
         the names of map tables.
