# allec(1)

force the most important ec-fonts to be calculated

## NAME

allec - force the most important ec-fonts to be calculated

## SYNOPSIS

**allec \[-r\]**

## DESCRIPTION

*allec* forces a large number of ec-style Fonts to be calculated as pixel files. This is done through running [*dvips*(1)](/dvips/1.md) 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)](/dvired/1.md) will be used instead of dvips.

*alldc* does not recalculate existing fonts (as long as the Metafont mode does not change).

## SEE ALSO

[allcm(1)](/allcm/1.md), [allneeded(1)](/allneeded/1.md), [dvips(1)](/dvips/1.md), [dvired(1)](/dvired/1.md).
