✨ allcm(1) — NAME ✨

okay so bestie, allcm is the command that 💅 forces the most important Computer Modern fonts to get calculated into pixel files. no cap, it's giving main character energy 🎀

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

allcm [-r]

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

okay so allcm lowkey does a LOT of work for you ✨ it makes a big pile of Computer Modern fonts get calculated as pixel files 🧚 the way it gets this done is by running dvips(1) over a certain test-file. iykyk, that means the fonts end up in the resolution dvips needs 🦋

if you slap on the -r flag, allcm swaps dvips out and uses dvired(1) instead 🔥

and bestie, allcm is kind of a chill queen 👑 it does not recalculate fonts that already exist (as long as the Metafont mode doesn't change) 🫶

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

  • -r — the flag that switches things up! use dvired(1) instead of dvips 💅

🦋 SEE ALSO 🦋

allec(1), allneeded(1), dvips(1), dvired(1) 💜
