Package: texlive-binaries Version: 2012.20120628-3 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
man updmap.cfg says: SPECIAL TO DEBIAN In Debian the file updmap.cfg is a generated file sitting in /var. It is generated by concatenating the *.cfg files from /etc/texmf/updmap.d/. These files follow the syntax of updmap.cfg, but contain only parts of it. This is wrong because this technique is deprecated. Therefore, update-updmap warns: Warning: Old configuration style found in /etc/texmf/updmap.d Warning: For now these files have been included, Warning: but expect inconsistencies. Please see /usr/share/doc/tex-common/NEWS.Debian.gz This information in /usr/share/doc/tex-common/NEWS.Debian.gz should be duplicated in the man page: For users: If you are using PostScript fonts that are not packaged for Debian, some changes have been done: updmap now reads *all* updmap.cfg files it finds. That means, the easiest way to activate local fonts (in TEXMFLOCAL) by putting the respective map lines into /usr/local/share/texmf/web2c/updmap.cfg, and call updmap-sys once (as root). If you have fonts in your home directory you want to activate, paralleling the above you put the respective map line into $HOME/texmf/web2c/updmap.cfg and call updmap (as user). But be reminded that you have to do that everytime system fonts have changed (there is no automatic syncronization between user specific and system wide updmap(-sys) generated files). Note that the directory /usr/local/share/texmf/web2c/ has to be created by the user, whereas /usr/share/texmf/web2c already exists but has a totally different purpose, which adds to the whole confusion about updmap on Debian (but this is another story). A note about that fact might be a worthwile addition to the man page.
