Choosing a font manager
Tue, 29 Apr 2008 18:00:00 GMT
With libraries of thousands of fonts to handle, designers need a way to quickly locate fonts and organize them into meaningful categories -- such as by the project that requires them -- and to disable fonts when they are not in use so that they don't clog system memory. Although as recently as two years ago the GNU/Linux desktop lacked a font manager that met all these needs, it now has four that either meet them or are likely to.

atsutil(8) BSD System Manager's Manual atsutil(8)
NAME
atsutil -- font registration system utility
SYNOPSIS
atsutil fonts [-list | -verify]
atsutil databases [-remove | -removeUser]
atsutil server [-ping | -shutdown]
atsutil help
DESCRIPTION
atsutil tool controls some aspects of the font registration system. It may be used to modify font auto activation settings, font protection
settings, remove font registration databases and caches, or restart the font registration daemon.
fonts enumerates all fonts available to processes in the OS. It also performs a consistency check of the fonts available via font management
APIs.
databases will remove fontd System or User databases along with any cache files. Removing databases may cause the loss of font registration
state: fonts activated outside the standard font directories, font faces disabled, and font libraries. New databases will be regenerated from
fonts installed the standard font directories after the user logs out, restarts, or the fontd server is restarted.
server queries the status of fontd or shutdowns the fontd. Shutting down the fontd will spawn a new fontd. Shutting down the server is NOT
recommended and will likely lead to misrendered text or application crashes.
OPTIONS
fonts [-list | -verify]
-list lists and performs a consistency check on registered fonts.
-verify performs consistency a check on registered fonts.
databases [-remove | -removeUser]
-remove remove fontd databases for active user and system (used when no one is logged in and some background processes).
-removeUser remove fontd databases for the active user only.
server [-ping | -shutdown]
-ping query running fontd.
-shutdown shutdown fontd and spawn a new fontd. NOTE: this action is not recommended. See above.
