chkfontpath

CHKFONTPATH(8)							   Red Hat, Inc.						    CHKFONTPATH(8)

NAME

       chkfontpath - simple interface for adding, removing, and listing directories in the X font server's path

SYNOPSIS

       chkfontpath [-lqfh] [-a name of directory to add] [-r name of directory to remove]

DESCRIPTION

       chkfontpath provides a simple method of configuring the directories contained in the X font server's path.  As of Red Hat 6.0, all fonts in
       X are served via this separate font server process, not through the main X server process.  This speeds up font rendering, and also  allows
       use of font servers which are not running on the local host.

       chkfontpath  is	mainly	used  by  rpm  in  its %post and %postun sections to add and remove new directories to the server's config file at
       installation and de-installation time of packages containing fonts.

       -a, --add=name of directory to add
	      Add a directory to the font path.

       -r, --remove=name of directory to remove
	      Remove a directory from the font path.

       -l, --list
	      List all directories in the font path.

       -q, --quiet
	      Quiet operation; don't display any output to the screen, even when there is an error during operation.

       -f, --first
	      Requires usage of the add command; puts the specified directory first in the font path, rather than last.

       -h, --help
	      Show detailed help on the command line.

       When directories are added to the path, some sanity checking is performed to make sure you are not adding  a  directory	without  the  file
       fonts.dir  contained  in  it, which the server needs to be able to render fonts properly.  When a path is succesfully added or removed, the
       xfs process is restarted if it is currently running.

RETURN CODES

       chkfontpath returns 0 on success, or 1 on error.

FILES

       /etc/X11/fs/config
	      Configuration file for the X font server (xfs).
