<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2>
<P>
<B>fc-cache</B> scans the font directories on
the system and builds font information cache files for
applications using fontconfig for their font handling.
<P>
If directory arguments are not given,
<B>fc-cache</B> uses each directory in the
current font configuration. Each directory is scanned for
font files readable by FreeType. A cache is created which
contains properties of each font and the associated filename.
This cache is used to speed up application startup when using
the fontconfig library.
<P>
Note that <B>fc-cache</B> must be executed
once per architecture to generate font information customized
for that architecture.
