<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2>
|
|
|
|
For each directory argument,
|
|
<I>mkfontscale</I>
|
|
|
|
reads all of the scalable font files in the directory. For every font
|
|
file found, an X11 font name (XLFD) is generated, and is written
|
|
together with the file name to a file
|
|
<B>fonts.scale</B>
|
|
|
|
in the directory.
|
|
<P>
|
|
The resulting
|
|
<B>fonts.scale</B>
|
|
|
|
file should be checked and possibly manually edited before being used
|
|
as input for the
|
|
<B><A HREF="/cgi-bin/man/man2html?1+mkfontdir">mkfontdir</A></B>(1)
|
|
|
|
program.
|
|
<A NAME="lbAE"> </A>
|
|
<H2>OPTIONS</H2>
|
|
|
|
<DL COMPACT>
|
|
<DT id="1"><B>-b</B>
|
|
|
|
<DD>
|
|
read bitmap fonts. By default, bitmap fonts are ignored.
|
|
<DT id="2"><B>-s</B>
|
|
|
|
<DD>
|
|
ignore scalable fonts. By default, scalable fonts are read. If
|
|
<B>-b</B>
|
|
|
|
is set, this flag has the side effect of enabling the reading of
|
|
<B>fonts.scale</B>
|
|
|
|
files.
|
|
<DT id="3"><B>-o</B><I> filename</I>
|
|
|
|
<DD>
|
|
send program output to
|
|
<I>filename</I>;
|
|
|
|
default is
|
|
<B>fonts.scale</B>
|
|
|
|
if bitmap fonts are not being read, and
|
|
<B>fonts.dir</B>
|
|
|
|
if they are. If
|
|
<I>filename</I>
|
|
|
|
is relative, it is created in the directory being processed. If it is
|
|
the special value
|
|
<B>-</B>,
|
|
|
|
output is written to standard output.
|
|
<DT id="4"><B>-x</B><I> suffix</I>
|
|
|
|
<DD>
|
|
exclude all files with the specified
|
|
<I>suffix</I>.
|
|
|
|
<DT id="5"><B>-a</B><I> encoding</I>
|
|
|
|
<DD>
|
|
add
|
|
<I>encoding</I>
|
|
|
|
to the list of encodings searched for.
|
|
<DT id="6"><B>-f</B><I> fuzz</I>
|
|
|
|
<DD>
|
|
set the fraction of characters that may be missing in large encodings to
|
|
<I>fuzz</I>
|
|
|
|
percent. Defaults to 2%.
|
|
<DT id="7"><B>-l</B>
|
|
|
|
<DD>
|
|
Write
|
|
<B>fonts.dir</B>
|
|
|
|
files suitable for implementations that cannot reencode legacy fonts
|
|
(BDF and PCF). By default, it is assumed that the implementation can
|
|
reencode Unicode-encoded legacy fonts.
|
|
<DT id="8"><B>-e</B>
|
|
|
|
<DD>
|
|
specifies a directory with encoding files. Every such
|
|
directory is scanned for encoding files, the list of which is then
|
|
written to an "encodings.dir" file in every font directory.
|
|
<DT id="9"><B>-p</B>
|
|
|
|
<DD>
|
|
Specifies a prefix that is prepended to the encoding file path names
|
|
when they are written to the "encodings.dir" file. The prefix is
|
|
prepended literally: if a `/' is required between the prefix and the path
|
|
names, it must be supplied explicitly as part of the prefix.
|
|
<DT id="10"><B>-r</B>
|
|
|
|
<DD>
|
|
Keep non-absolute encoding directories in their relative form when
|
|
writing the "encodings.dir" file. The default is to convert relative
|
|
encoding directories to absolute directories by prepending the current
|
|
directory. The positioning of this options is significant, as this
|
|
option only applies to subsequent
|
|
<B>-e</B>
|
|
|
|
options.
|
|
<DT id="11"><B>-n</B>
|
|
|
|
<DD>
|
|
do not scan for fonts, do not write font directory files. This option
|
|
is useful when generating encoding directories only.
|
|
<DT id="12"><B>-u, -U</B>
|
|
|
|
<DD>
|
|
disable (<I>-u</I>) or enable (<I>-U</I>) indexing of ISO 10646:1 font
|
|
encodings (default: enabled).
|
|
<DT id="13"><B>-v</B>
|
|
|
|
<DD>
|
|
print program version and exit.
|
|
<DT id="14"><B>--</B>
|
|
|
|
<DD>
|
|
end of options.

The version of

|
<B>mkfontscale</B>
|
|
|
|
included in this X.Org Foundation release was originally written by
|
|
Juliusz Chroboczek <<A HREF="mailto:jch@freedesktop.org">jch@freedesktop.org</A>> for the XFree86 project. The
|
|
functionality of this program was inspired by the
|
|
<B>ttmkfdir</B>
|
|
|
|
utility by Joerg Pommnitz.
