allcm - force the most important Computer-Modern-fonts to be calculated

allcm [-r]

allcmforces a large number of Computer Modern Fonts to be calculated as pixel files. This is done through running dvips (1) over a certain test-file. Therefore, the fonts are created in the resolution needed by dvips. If the -r flag is specified, the command dvired (1) will be used instead of dvips. allcmdoes not recalculate existing fonts (as long as the Metafont mode does not change).

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