MKTTFDIR(R)                                           MKTTFDIR(R)



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.  mkt-
       tfdir 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 compatible with  the  xfsft
       font  server  do  to  the  inclusion of data for the TTCap
       extension, which xfsft does not know how to parse.
