.TH FC-CACHE 1 __vendorversion__
|
|
.SH NAME
|
|
fc-cache, fonts.cache \- create an index of FreeType font files in a directory
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
.B "fc-cache"
|
|
.RI [-fsvV?] [--force] [--system-only] [--verbose] [--version] [--help] [ directory-name
|
|
\|.\|.\|. ]
|
|
.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.
|
|
.SH FILES
|
|
.TP 15
|
|
.B fonts.cache
|
|
Maps file names to font properties. Read by the fontconfig library at
|
|
application startup to locate appropriate fonts.
