NAME

       fc-query - query font files

SYNOPSIS

       fc-query [ -Vh ]

	[   [  -b  ]   [  --ignore-blanks  ]  ]  [  [ -i index ]  [ --index index ]  ]	[  [ -f format ]  [ --format format ]  ]  [ --version ]  [
       --help ]  font-file...

DESCRIPTION

       fc-query queries font-file(s) using the normal fontconfig rules and prints out font pattern for each face found.  If --index is given, only
       one face of each file is queried, otherwise all faces are queried.

OPTIONS

       This  program follows the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes (`-'). A summary of options is included
       below.

       -b     Ignore blanks to compute languages

       -i     Only query face indexed index of each file.

       -f     Format output according to the format specifier format.

       -V     Show version of the program and exit.

       -h     Show summary of options.

       font-file
	      Query font-file for font faces.

RETURN CODES

       fc-query returns error code 0 for successful parsing, or 1 if any errors occured or if at least one font face could not be opened.

FC-CACHE(1)															       FC-CACHE(1)

NAME

       fc-cache - build font information cache files

SYNOPSIS

       fc-cache [ -frsvVh ]  [ --force ]  [ --really-force ]  [ --system-only ]  [ --verbose ]	[ --version ]  [ --help ]  [ dir... ]

DESCRIPTION

       fc-cache  scans the font directories on the system and builds font information cache files for applications using fontconfig for their font
       handling.

       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 up application startup when using the fontconfig library.

       Note that fc-cache must be executed once per architecture to generate font information customized for that architecture.

OPTIONS

       This program follows the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes (`-'). A summary of options is  included
       below.

       -f     Force re-generation of apparently up-to-date cache files, overriding the timestamp checking.

       -r     Erase all existing cache files and rescan.

       -s     Only scan system-wide directories, omitting the places located in the user's home directory.

       -v     Display status information while busy.

       -h     Show summary of options.

       -V     Show version of the program and exit.

       dir    Directory to scan for fonts.

FILES

       %cachdir%/*-%arch%.cache-2
	      These  files  are generated by fc-cache and contain maps from file names to font properties. They are read by the fontconfig library
	      at application startup to locate appropriate fonts.
