NAME
       download - host resident PostScript font downloader

SYNOPSIS
       download [-f] [-p printer] [-m name] [-H directory]
	    [file]...

       /usr/lib/lp/postscript/download

DESCRIPTION
       download	 prepends  host resident fonts to files and writes the results
       on the standard output. If no files are specified, or if −  is  one  of
       the input files, the standard input is read. download assumes the input
       files make up a single PostScript job and that requested fonts  can  be
       included at the start of each input file.

       Requested  fonts	 are named in a comment (marked with %%DocumentFonts:)
       in the input files. Available fonts are the ones listed in the map  ta‐
       ble selected using the -m option.

       The map table consists of fontname−file pairs. The fontname is the full
       name of the PostScript font, exactly as it would appear	in  a  %%Docu‐
       mentFonts: comment. The file is the pathname of the host resident font.
       A file that begins with a / is used as is. Otherwise  the  pathname  is
       relative	 to  the host font directory. Comments are introduced by % (as
       in PostScript) and extend to the end of the line.

       The only candidates for downloading are	fonts listed in the map	 table
       that  point  download  to readable files. A font is downloaded once, at
       most. Requests for unlisted fonts or inaccessible  files	 are  ignored.
       All requests are ignored if the map table can not be read.

OPTIONS
       -f	       Force  a	 complete  scan	 of  each  input  file. In the
		       absence of an explicit comment pointing download to the
		       end  of	the  file,  the default scan stops immediately
		       after the PostScript header comments.

       -p printer      Check   the   list   of	 printer-resident   fonts   in
		       /etc/lp/printers/printer/residentfonts before download‐
		       ing.

       -m name	       Use name as the font map table. A name that begins with
		       /  is the full pathname of the map table and is used as
		       is. Otherwise  name is appended to the pathname of  the
		       host font directory.

       -H directory    Use  dir	 as  the  host	font directory. The default is
		       /usr/lib/lp/postscript.

EXAMPLES
       Example 1 Examples of the download command.

       The following  map table could be used to control  the  downloading  of
       the Bookman font family:

	 %
	 % The first string is the full PostScript font name. The second string
	 % is the file name - relative to the host font directory unless it begins
	 % with a /.
	 %
	     Bookman-Light		 bookman/light
	     Bookman-LightItalic      bookman/lightitalic
	     Bookman-Demi		bookman/demi
	     Bookman-DemiItalic	     bookman/demiitalic

       Using  the  file myprinter/map (in the default host font directory)  as
       the map table, you could download fonts	by issuing the following  com‐
       mand:

	 example% download -m myprinter/map file

EXIT STATUS
       The following exit values are returned:

       0	   Successful completion.

       non-zero	   An error occurred.

NOTES
       The download program should be part of a more general program.

       download does not look for %%PageFonts: comments and there is no way to
       force multiple downloads of a particular font.

       Using full pathnames in either map tables or the names of map tables is
       not recommended.
