It exists on my TeXLive distro and also my Slackware TeX distro (presumably tetex.) Here is a condensed version of the man page: -------------------------------------------------------------- updmap is a utility that creates font configuration files for dvips(1), pdftex(1), xdvi(1), ps2pk(1), gsftopk(1), dvipdfm(1) and (soon) dvipdfmx(1). In an ideal world, updmap would be unnecessary -- each of these programs would read the same configuration file to learn what fonts are available and how they should be treated. As things stand, however, each of these tools has subtly different requirements and thereby needs its own font configuration file. updmap creates font configuration files for all of these programs from a single source, allowing you to easily keep all the different configuration files in sync. updmap reads a configuration file, updmap.cfg(5) and, depending on the options specified in that file and on the command line, updmap will write generated map files to a directory of your choosing (via one of the --*outputdir options), or automatically determine where to place the files. In the latter case, it tries to use the tree where the variable TEXMFVAR points to. When used with the options --edit, --setoption, --enable, --disable, or --syncwithtrees, updmap will first write updmap.cfg(5) and regenerate the map files only if this file has been changed. ------------------------------------------------------------- As previously posted I add a line to updmap.cfg asking it to look for plus.map. Then I add/delete etc. font statements to that file. When run updmap then updates all the other files used by various tex variants as described above. -- John Culleton
