NAME

       xfstt - X11 Font Server for TrueType fonts

SYNOPSIS

       xfstt [options]

DESCRIPTION

       Xfstt  serves  TrueType fonts to X11 servers. Start xfstt then tell X11 about the font server with xset fp+ unix/:7101 or (assuming the X11
       server runs on host 127.0.0.1) xset fp+ inet/127.0.0.1:7101

OPTIONS

       --sync Synchronize the font database with installed fonts and exit when done.  Don't do this while xfstt is running.

       --gslist
	      Print font list in a format usable for ghostscript during --sync.

       --user username
	      This is a security feature which is designed to lessen the impact of any future security holes which are found in xfstt.	This  will
	      cause  xfstt  to set its UID and GID to that of the specified user (if that user doesn't exist then it will use your current UID and
	      GID)

       --encoding item[,...]
	      Remap to different encodings, listed each separated by a comma. Default is iso8859-1. Usage example:
	      xfstt --encoding iso8859-2,koi8-r,windows-1251

       --port number
	      Change the port number for xfstt's font services.  This version of Xfstt defaults to port 7101.

       --notcp
	      Don't open TCP socket, use unix domain only.

       --dir name
	      Change xfstt's font directory.  The default directory is /usr/share/fonts/truetype.

       --cache name
	      Change xfstt's font cache directory.  The default directory is /var/cache/xfstt.

       --pidfile name
	      Change xfstt's pidfile location.	The default file name is /var/run/xfstt.pid.

       --res value
	      Force the resolution for underspecified fonts to value (typically 96 or 120).  Default is the value the X11  server  suggests  which
	      can be adjusted by the -dpi option of the X11 server. Standard X11 servers have defaults of 72 dpi.

       --unstrap
	      Allow some more unicode characters. This is dangerous for many X11 servers.  Start the X server with the "-deferglyphs 16" option to
	      give the X server a better chance of surviving. For very carefully implemented X servers you may recompile with UNSTRAPLIMIT set	to
	      65535 in order to get the complete unicode range.

       --once Exit after the font client disconnects.

       --inetd
	      Tell xfstt to be used as inetd service.

       --daemon
	      Behave like a daemon.

       --help Print brief usage information on standard output and exit.

       --version
	      Show the program version.

NAME

       update-fonts-dir - compile fonts.dir files

SYNOPSIS

       update-fonts-dir [OPTION] directory ...

DESCRIPTION

       update-fonts-dir creates a fonts.dir file in an X font directory by invoking mkfontdir(1x) with the appropriate arguments.  It is typically
       invoked only from the post-installation and post-removal scripts of a package containing fonts for the X Window System, but may be  invoked
       at  any	time  to  reconstruct  fonts.dir  files.   For	each directory, which is simply the last component of its path (such as '75dpi' or
       'misc'), update-fonts-dir will generate either /usr/lib/X11/fonts/directory/fonts.dir or /usr/share/fonts/X11/directory/fonts.dir from  the
       fonts.scale and font files found within it.

       This  enables  multiple packages to provide names for fonts in the same directory.  No font package actually provides the fonts.dir file in
       the X font directory itself, so there is no danger of overwriting one package's font names with those of another.

       For instance, the two packages  'xfonts-base'  (real)  and  'xfonts-nifty'  (hypothetical)  may	both  install  fonts  into  the  directory
       /usr/lib/X11/fonts/misc,  and  update-fonts-dir	will  ensure that the fonts.dir file in that directory contains information about the font
       files provided by both packages.

       The format of fonts.dir files is described in the mkfontdir(1x) manual page.

       An example of how to use update-fonts-dir in package maintainer scripts is provided in the Debian Policy Manual.

OPTIONS

       -h, --help displays a brief usage message and exits.

       -7, --x11r7-layout switches the font layout to the one introduced in X11R7: fonts in /usr/share/fonts/X11/directory (default is:  fonts	in
       /usr/lib/X11/fonts/directory)

OPERANDS

       update-fonts-dir  takes	one or more X font directory names to operate on as operands.  Only the final path component of the directory name
       should be specified; e.g.,
	      update-fonts-dir 75dpi
       is correct, while 'update-fonts-dir /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi' and 'update-fonts-dir /usr/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi' are not.

ENVIRONMENT

       COLUMNS
	      indicates the width of the terminal device in character cells.  This value is used for formatting diagnostic messages.  If not  set,
	      the terminal is queried using stty(1) to determine its width.  If that fails, a value of '80' is assumed.

DIAGNOSTICS

   Errors
       usage error: one or more font directories must be provided
	      update-fonts-dir was invoked without operands.  Supply one or more X font directory names to operate on.

       usage error: unrecognized option
	      update-fonts-dir was invoked with an unrecognized option argument.  Use only the options documented in "OPTIONS", above.

       fatal error: path to X font directory must be used
	      A directory name was supplied that was not an X font directory name.  Supply X font directory names only.

   Warnings
       warning: absolute path directory was provided
	      Usage of absolute paths is deprecated.  Use only the final component of the X font directory name for directory.

       warning: directory does not exist or is not a directory
	      The supplied directory was invalid.  update-fonts-dir skipped it.

EXIT STATUS

       0      update-fonts-dir ran successfully.

       1      update-fonts-dir experienced a fatal error; see the section on diagnostic messages above.

       2      update-fonts-dir was invoked with invalid arguments.

BUGS
