MKAFMMAP(1)

💖 MKAFMMAP(1) — the font-map-maker bestie 💖

okay so real quick, the manual name is mkafmmap(1) and it lives in the General Commands Manual section, iykyk. it's giving little utility, big energy. let's get into it ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

mkafmmap — creates font map for AFM files 💅 that's literally the whole job. she makes the map. she serves.

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

mkafmmap [options] files...

so it's mkafmmap, then some options if you're feeling fancy, then a whole lil lineup of files. periodt.

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

okay bestie listen. the mkafmmap command generates a font map file and it does that by reading all the AFM files you hand it on the command line. like, every single one you pass in. she's thorough, she's dedicated, she ate 🔥

by default she writes that map to a file named font.map. that's the vibe. that's the default. no notes.

but WAIT — if you want a different filename, you can specify one with the --output-file options 👑 and if you pass - as the name, the program will write the map to stdout instead. yes, - means stdout, iconic behavior, love that for us 💖

✨ OPTIONS ✨

• -h, --help — shows a summary of the options. when you're lost, she's got you 🫶
• -v, --version — shows the version of the program. get the receipts ⭐
• -p, --output-file=NAME — print output to file NAME. your map, your name, your rules 💅
