.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
|
|
If directory arguments are not given,
|
|
|
|
|
|
.I fc-cache
|
|
|
|
|
|
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 application startup when using the fontconfig library.

.P
|
|
|
|
|
|
Use -f (or --force on systems supporting long arguments) to override the
|
|
|
|
|
|
usual timestamp checking and ensure that new cache files are built.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.P
|
|
|
|
|
|
Use -s (or --system-only on systems supporting long arguments) to restrict
|
|
|
|
|
|
the updates to fonts not located in the current users home directory.
