- unbreak Makefiles.am so that if the nroff man pages are present they
  get installed, even without docbook tools.

.TH "fc-cache" "1"
.SH "NAME"
fc-cache \(em build font information cache files
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.PP
\fBfc-cache\fR [\fB-fsvV?\fP] [\fB\-\-force\fP] [\fB\-\-system-only\fP] [\fB\-\-verbose\fP] [\fB\-\-version\fP] [\fB\-\-help\fP] [\fB\fIdirs\fR\fP]
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
\fBfc-cache\fR scans the font directories on
the system and builds font information cache files for
applications using fontconfig for their font handling\&.
.PP
If directory arguments are not given,
\fBfc-cache\fR 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\&.
.PP
Note that \fBfc-cache\fR must be executed
once per architecture to generate font information customized
for that architecture\&. On a subsequent run,
\fBfc-cache\fR will augment the cache
information files with the information for the new
architecture\&.
.SH "OPTIONS"
.PP
This program follows the usual GNU command line syntax,
with long options starting with two dashes (`\-\&')\&. A summary of
options is included below\&.
.IP "\fB-f\fP \fB\-\-force\fP " 10
Force re-generation of apparently up-to-date cache files,
overriding the timestamp checking\&.
.IP "\fB-s\fP \fB\-\-system-only\fP " 10
Only scan system-wide directories, omitting the places
located in the user\&'s home directory\&.
.IP "\fB-v\fP \fB\-\-verbose\fP " 10
Display status information while busy\&.
.IP "\fB-?\fP \fB\-\-help\fP " 10
Show summary of options\&.
.IP "\fB-V\fP \fB\-\-version\fP " 10
Show version of the program and exit\&.
.IP "\fB\fIdirs\fR\fP " 10
A list of directories to scan for fonts\&.
.SH "FILES"
.IP "\fBfonts\&.cache-2\fP" 10
These files are generated by \fBfc-cache\fR and contain maps from file names to font properties\&. They are
read by the fontconfig library at application startup to locate
appropriate fonts\&.
.SH "SEE ALSO"
.PP
\fBfc-list\fR (1)\&.
.PP

\fB/usr/share/doc/fontconfig/fontconfig-user\&.html\fP\&.
.SH "AUTHOR"

keithp@keithp\&.com and Josselin Mouette joss@debian\&.org\&.
