MIKTEX-FONTMAPS(1)

📦 version 25.12, in nixos 26.05, nixpkgs unstable

🌸 NAME 🌸

miktex-fontmaps — manage PDF/PostScript font maps 💅

(this whole page lives under the User Commands section of the manual, fyi, and it's giving very much "the miktex family, but make it fonts" 🎀)

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

miktex [common-option...] fontmaps command
       [command-option-or-parameter...]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Okay so bestie, this is literally the command set for managing PDF/PostScript font maps. That's the whole thing. That's the assignment. 🫶

👑 COMMANDS 👑

Here's the lineup, and every single one of them ate:

  • configure — configures the font map files for your PDF/PostScript output drivers. Think of it as the glow-up appointment for your driver setup ✨
  • set-option name [value] — sets a configuration option. You give it the name, and if it needs a value, you drop that in too 💖
  • show-option [--template template] name — shows a configuration option. Peeking at the settings, we love to see it 🙈

🎀 the --template tea 🎀

So show-option can take a --template template, and that template is what controls the output. It can contain the following placeholders, and yes these are the literal spellings:

  • {name}
  • {value}

That's it, that's the substitution moment. Iconic, no cap. 🔥

💜 SEE ALSO 💜

  • miktex(1) — the main character, obviously 👑
lowkey the rules are: miktex(1) is right there if you need the big-picture miktex page, and this one is the font-maps branch of the family tree 🧚
