updating updmap.cfg

Post by beoram »

I'm trying to install some fonts (cbgreek-full). In the documentation it tells me to:

"1. Copy the updmap.cfg file from the system tree branch web2c to a folder
with the same name grafted the same position in your local/personal tree;

2. edit the copied file so as to change the cbgreek.map name to cbgreek-full.map;
control that the line you modified does not contain any comment mark,
that in that file is made up by the hash sign #; the word Map or Mixedmap
should be flush left; save the modified file;

3. from the same location run the program1
updmap --cnffile ./updmap.cfg"

Problem:

1. I don't have a folder called "web2c"
2. There is a file called updmap.cfg in /MiKTeX 2.7/miktek/config/, but it says in its header:

"## updmap.cfg: T1 font configuation file for MiKTeX.
##
## DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE DIRECTLY! It will be replaced when
## MiKTeX is updated.
##
## Run
##
## initexmf --edit-config-file updmap
##
## to edit T1 font configuration settings."


Not sure what to do at this point....

Which documentation? The MikTeX help says to
For example, follow these steps if you want to add an entry for the font map file xyz.map:
  • Run initexmf --edit-config-file updmap.
  • Insert the following line at the end of the file:
    Map xyz.map
  • Save the file and close the editor.
  • Run initexmf --mkmaps to rebuild the font map files.
Just change the xyz.map with the actual map file you place it somewhere where TeX & friends can find it
