6 | .TH "FC-CACHE" "1" "20 March 2005" "" "" | ||
7 | .SH NAME | ||
8 | fc-cache \- build font information cache files | ||
9 | .SH SYNOPSIS | ||
10 | |||
11 | \fBfc-cache\fR [ \fB-fsvV?\fR ] [ \fB--force\fR ] [ \fB--system-only\fR ] [ \fB--verbose\fR ] [ \fB--version\fR ] [ \fB--help\fR ] [ \fB\fIdirs\fB\fR ] | ||
12 | |||
13 | .SH "DESCRIPTION" | ||
14 | .PP | ||
15 | \fBfc-cache\fR scans the font directories on | ||
16 | the system and builds font information cache files for | ||
17 | applications using fontconfig for their font handling. | ||
18 | .PP | ||
19 | If directory arguments are not given, | ||
20 | \fBfc-cache\fR uses each directory in the | ||
21 | current font configuration. Each directory is scanned for | ||
22 | font files readable by FreeType. A cache is created which | ||
23 | contains properties of each font and the associated filename. | ||
24 | This cache is used to speed up application startup when using | ||
25 | the fontconfig library. | ||
26 | .SH "OPTIONS" | ||
27 | .PP | ||
28 | This program follows the usual GNU command line syntax, | ||
29 | with long options starting with two dashes (`-'). A summary of | ||
30 | options is included below. | ||
31 | .TP | ||
32 | \fB-f --force \fR | ||
33 | Force re-generation of apparently up-to-date cache files, | ||
34 | overriding the timestamp checking. | ||
35 | .TP | ||
36 | \fB-s --system-only \fR | ||
37 | Only scan system-wide directories, omitting the places | ||
38 | located in the user's home directory. | ||
39 | .TP | ||
40 | \fB-v --verbose \fR | ||
41 | Display status information while busy. | ||
42 | .TP | ||
43 | \fB-? --help \fR | ||
44 | Show summary of options. | ||
45 | .TP | ||
46 | \fB-V --version \fR | ||
47 | Show version of the program and exit. | ||
48 | .TP | ||
49 | \fB\fIdirs\fB \fR | ||
50 | A list of directories to scan for fonts. | ||
51 | .SH "FILES" | ||
52 | .TP | ||
53 | \fB\fIfonts.cache-1\fB\fR | ||
54 | These files are generated by \fBfc-cache\fR | ||
55 | and contain maps from file names to font properties. They are | ||
56 | read by the fontconfig library at application startup to locate | ||
57 | appropriate fonts. | ||
58 | .SH "SEE ALSO" | ||
59 | .PP | ||
60 | \fBfc-list\fR (1). | ||
61 | .PP | ||
62 | The fontconfig user's guide, in HTML format: | ||
63 | \fI/usr/share/doc/fontconfig/fontconfig-user.html\fR. | ||
64 | .SH "AUTHOR" | ||
65 | .PP | ||
66 | This manual page was written by Keith Packard | ||
67 | <keithp@keithp.com> and Josselin Mouette <joss@debian.org>. |
