mkfontscale - create an index of scalable font files for X
mkfontscale
[ -o filename ] [ -e encoding ] ... [ -f fuzz ] [ -- ] [ directory ] ...
For
each directory argument, mkfontscale reads all of the scalable font files
in the directory. For every font file found, an X11 font name (XLFD) is
generated, and is written together with the file name to a file fonts.scale
in the directory.
The resulting fonts.scale file should be checked and possibly
manually edited before being used as input for the mkfontdir(1)
program.
- -o filename
- send program output to filename; default is fonts.scale.
If filename is relative, it is created in the directory being processed.
If it is the special value -, output is written to standard output.
- -e encoding
- add encoding to the list of encodings searched for.
- -f fuzz
- set the fraction
of characters that may be missing in large encodings to fuzz percent. Defaults
to 2%.
- --
- end of options.

Mkfontscale will overwrite any fonts.scale file even
if it has been hand-edited.
Mkfontscale was written by Juliusz Chroboczek
<jch@xfree86.org> for the XFree86 project. The functionality of this program
was inspired by the ttmkfdir utility by Joerg Pommnitz.
