fc-cache

FC-CACHE(1)                                                   General Commands Manual                                                  FC-CACHE(1)

NAME

       fc-cache, fonts.cache - create an index of FreeType font files in a directory

SYNOPSIS

       fc-cache [directory-name ...]

DESCRIPTION

       If  directory  arguments are not given, 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.

FILES

       fonts.cache    Maps file names to font properties.  Read by the fontconfig library at application startup to locate appropriate fonts.

SEE ALSO

       libfontconfig(3lib)

NOTES

       fc-cache  is  run automatically at system boot to ensure font caches are up to date via the fc-cache service.  The fc-cache service is man-
       aged by the service management facility, smf(5), under the service identifier:

       svc:/application/font/fc-cache

       Administrative actions on this service, such as enabling, disabling, or requesting restart, can be performed using  svcadm(1M).   The  ser-
       vice's status can be queried using the svcs(1) command.
