.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
|
|
\fBfc-cache\fR [ \fB-EfrsvVh\fR ] [ \fB--error-on-no-fonts\fR ] [ \fB--force\fR ] [ \fB--really-force\fR ] [ \fB-y \fIdir\fB\fR | \fB--sysroot \fIdir\fB\fR ] [ \fB--system-only\fR ] [ \fB--verbose\fR ] [ \fB--version\fR ] [ \fB--help\fR ] [ \fB\fIdir\fB\fR\fI ...\fR ]

.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.
|
|
.SH "OPTIONS"
