     NAME
          type1xfonts - build X style font directory for Type1 fonts

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

     DESCRIPTION
          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
          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
          mkfontdir(1), fs(1), X(1)

     ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
          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.
