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



NAME
       fc-cache,  fonts.cache  - create an index of FreeType font
       files in a directory

SYNOPSIS
       fc-cache [directory-name ... ]

DESCRIPTION
       If directory arguments are not given, fc-cache  uses  each
       directory  in the current font configuration.  Each direc-
       tory 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
       application startup when using the fontconfig library.

FILES
       fonts.cache    Maps  file  names to font properties.  Read
                      by the fontconfig  library  at  application
                      startup to locate appropriate fonts.
