The file \fBupdmap.cfg\fR is the central font configuration file of a
teTeX system and is read by \fBupdmap\fP(1). It describes if and how
-fonts should be included (or not included) into PS-/PDF-files. This
-works for Outline (Postscript Type1) and Bitmap Fonts (Postscript
-Type3) mostly coming from MetaFont.
