mkttfdir(1)

NAME

mkttfdir - create an index of TrueType font files for X

TrueType server in a directory.

SYNOPSIS

mkttfdir [-dheow] [-inum] [directory-name ... ]

DESCRIPTION

For each directory argument, mkttfdir reads all of the

TrueType font files in the directory and parses them. It then

creates suitable font names and writes them into "fonts.dir" in

the same directory. The X-TrueType server (xfs-tt) and any X

server which suports the X-TrueType ability use "fonts.dir" to

find TrueType font files. mkttfdir does not create a

"fonts.scale" file as this is not used by the X-TrueType (xtt)

extension. The "fonts.dir" created by mkttfdir may not be com

patible with the xfsft font server do to the inclusion of data

for the TTCap extension, which xfsft does not know how to parse.
