Okay bestie, meet alldc, the command with main character energy for your fonts ✨

✨ NAME ✨

allec - force the most important ec-fonts to be calculated 💅

Heads up bestie, the NAME line really says allec and not alldc. That's how the original spells it, so I'm keeping it exactly like that 🙈

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

allec [-r]

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

Okay so allec (the rest of the page calls it alldc, iykyk 🙈) basically forces a huge number of ec-style Fonts to get calculated as pixel files. It's lowkey iconic 🔥

It does this by running dvips(1) over a certain test-file, so the fonts get made at the resolution dvips needs. The vibe is immaculate 💅

If you pass the -r flag, the command dvired(1) takes over instead of dvips. Main character swap 🦋

Bestie, alldc does not recalculate fonts that already exist, as long as the Metafont mode doesn't change. It's giving efficiency 💜

✨ SEE ALSO ✨

allcm(1), allneeded(1), dvips(1), dvired(1) 🌸
