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.
