.SH DESCRIPTION
|
||
|
|
For each directory argument,
|
||
|
|
.I mkfontscale
|
||
|
|
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
|
||
|
|
in the directory.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The resulting
|
||
|
|
.B fonts.scale
|
||
|
|
file should be checked and possibly manually edited before being used
|
||
|
|
as input for the
|
||
|
|
.BR mkfontdir (1)
|
||
|
|
program.
|
||
|
|
.SH OPTIONS
|
||
|
|
.TP
|
||
|
|
.B \-b
|
||
|
|
read bitmap fonts. By default, bitmap fonts are ignored.
|
||
|
|
.TP
|
||
|
|
.B \-s
|
||
|
|
ignore scalable fonts. By default, scalable fonts are read. If
|
||
|
|
.B \-b
|
||
|
|
is set, this flag has the side effect of enabling the reading of
|
||
|
|
.B fonts.scale
|
||
|
|
files.
|
||
|
|
.TP
|
||
|
|
.BI \-o " filename"
|
||
|
|
send program output to
|
||
|
|
.IR filename ;
|
||
|
|
default is
|
||
|
|
.B fonts.scale
|
||
|
|
if bitmap fonts are not being read, and
|
||
|
|
.B fonts.dir
|
||
|
|
if they are. If
|
||
|
|
.I filename
|
||
|
|
is relative, it is created in the directory being processed. If it is
|
||
|
|
the special value
|
||
|
|
.BR \- ,
|
||
|
|
output is written to standard output.
|
||
|
|
.TP
|
||
|
|
.BI \-x " suffix"
|
||
|
|
exclude all files with the specified
|
||
|
|
.IR suffix .
|
||
|
|
.TP
|
||
|
|
.BI \-a " encoding"
|
||
|
|
add
|
||
|
|
.I encoding
|
||
|
|
to the list of encodings searched for.
|
||
|
|
.TP
|
||
|
|
.BI \-f " fuzz"
|
||
|
|
set the fraction of characters that may be missing in large encodings to
|
||
|
|
.I fuzz
|
||
|
|
percent. Defaults to 2%.
|
||
|
|
.TP
|
||
|
|
.B \-l
|
||
|
|
Write
|
||
|
|
.B fonts.dir
|
||
|
|
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.
|
||
|
|
.TP
|
||
|
|
.B -e
|
||
|
|
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.
|
||
|
|
.TP
|
||
|
|
.B -p
|
||
|
|
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 litterally: if a `/' is required between the prefix and the path
|
||
|
|
names, it must be supplied explicitly as part of the prefix.
|
||
|
|
.TP
|
||
|
|
.B \-r
|
||
|
|
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
|
||
|
|
options.
|
||
|
|
.TP
|
||
|
|
.B \-n
|
||
|
|
do not scan for fonts, do not write font directory files. This option
|
||
|
|
is useful when generating encoding directories only.
|
||
|
|
.TP
|
||
|
|
.B \-\-
|
||
|
|
end of options.

.SH NOTES
|

|
|
The format of the
|
||
|
|
.BR fonts.scale ,
|
||
|
|
.B fonts.dir
|
||
|
|
and
|
||
|
|
.B encodings.dir
|
||

|
|
.B Mkfontscale
|
||
|
|
will overwrite any
|
||
|
|
.B fonts.scale
|
||
|
|
file even if it has been hand-edited.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
.B mkfontscale -b -s -l

.SH AUTHOR
|
||
|
|
The version of
|
||
|
|
.B mkfontscale
|
||
|
|
included in this X.Org Foundataion release was originally written by
|
||
|
|
Juliusz Chroboczek <jch@freedesktop.org> for the XFree86 project. The
|
||
|
|
functionality of this program was inspired by the
|
||
|
|
.B ttmkfdir
|
||
|
|
utility by Joerg Pommnitz.
