MKFONTSCALE(1)						      General Commands Manual						    MKFONTSCALE(1)

NAME
       mkfontscale - create an index of scalable font files for X

SYNOPSIS
       mkfontscale [ -e encoding ] ... [ -f fuzz ] [ -- ] [ directory ] ...

DESCRIPTION
       For  each  directory  argument,	mkfontscale reads all of the scalable font files in the directory.  For every font file found, an X11 font
       name (XLFD) is generated, and is written together with the file name to a file fonts.scale in the directory.

       The resulting fonts.scale file should be checked and possibly manually edited before being used as input for the mkfontdir(1) program.

OPTIONS
       -e encoding
	      add encoding to the list of encodings searched for.

       -f fuzz
	      set the fraction of characters that may be missing in large encodings to fuzz percent.  Defaults to 2%.

       --     end of options.

SEE ALSO
       X(7x), Xserver(1), mkfontdir(1), ttmkfdir(1), xfs(1), xset(1)

NOTES
       Mkfontscale will overwrite any fonts.scale file even if it has been hand-edited.
