mkfontscale - create an index of scalable font files for X
mkfontscale
[ -e encoding ] ... [ -f encoding ] ... [ -- ] [ 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.
This fonts.scale file should be edited manually and then used
as input for the mkfontdir(1)
program.
- -e encoding
- add encoding
to the list of encodings searched for.
- -f encoding
- add encoding to the list
of forced encodings.
- --
- 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 inspiration for
this program came from the ttmkfdir utility by Joerg Pommnitz.
