mkfontscale - create an index of scalable font files for X
mkfontscale
[ -e encoding ] ... [ -f fuzz ] [ -- ] [ directory ] ...
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.
- -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.

Mkfontscale will overwrite any fonts.scale
file even if it has been hand-edited.
Mkfontscale was written by Juliusz
Chroboczek <jch@xfree86.org> for the XFree86 project. The functionality of
this program was inspired by the ttmkfdir utility by Joerg Pommnitz.
