update-fonts-dir - compile fonts.dir files |

__update-fonts-dir__ ''directory ...'' |

!!DESCRIPTION |

|
| |
|
22 |
__update-fonts-dir__ creates a ''fonts.dir'' file in |
| |
|
23 |
an X font directory by invoking mkfontdir(1) with the |
| |
|
24 |
appropriate arguments. It is typically invoked only from the |
| |
|
25 |
post-installation and post-removal scripts of a |
| |
|
26 |
''package'' containing fonts for the X Window System, but |
| |
|
27 |
may be invoked at any time to reconstruct ''fonts.dir'' |
| |
|
28 |
files. For each ''directory'', which is either an |
| |
|
29 |
absolute path to an X font directory or (preferably) simply |
| |
|
30 |
the last component of its path (such as |
| |
|
31 |
''update-fonts-dir__ will generate |
| |
|
32 |
''/usr/lib/X11/fonts/''directory''/fonts.dir'' from |
| |
|
33 |
the ''fonts.scale'' and font files found within |
| |
|
34 |
it. |
| |
|
35 |
|
| |
|
36 |
|
| |
|
37 |
This enables multiple packages to provide names for fonts in |
| |
|
38 |
the same directory. No font package actually provides the |
| |
|
39 |
''fonts.dir'' file in the X font directory itself, so |
| |
|
40 |
there is no danger of overwriting one package's font names |
| |
|
41 |
with those of another; For instance, the two packages |
| |
|
42 |
''/usr/lib/X11/fonts/misc'', and __update-fonts-dir__ |
| |
|
43 |
will ensure that the ''fonts.dir'' file in that directory |
| |
|
44 |
contains information about the font files provided by both |
| |
|
45 |
packages. |
| |
|
46 |
|
| |
|
47 |
|
| |
|
48 |
The format for ''fonts.dir'' files is given in the |
| |
|
49 |
mkfontdir(1) manual page. |

| |
|
