NAME
update-fonts-scale - generate fonts.scale files
SYNOPSIS
update-fonts-scale
[OPTION]
directory ...
DESCRIPTION
update-fonts-scale
assembles a
fonts.scale
file in an X font directory using one or more scale files found in a
subdirectory of
/etc/X11/fonts/.
It is typically invoked only from the post-installation and post-removal
scripts of a package containing scalable fonts usable by the X Window
System whose X LFD font names are not in the font files themselves, but may
be invoked at any time to reconstruct
fonts.scale
files.
For each
directory,
which is either an absolute path to an X font directory or (preferably)
simply the last component of its path (such as oq75dpicq or
oqmisccq),
update-fonts-scale
will assemble either
/usr/lib/X11/fonts/directory/fonts.scale
or
/usr/share/fonts/X11/directory/fonts.scale
from the index files found at
/etc/X11/fonts/directory/package.scale,
where
package
is the name of the package installing the fonts.
This enables multiple packages to provide names for fonts in the same
directory.
No font package actually provides the
fonts.scale
file in the X font directory itself, so there is no danger of overwriting
one package's font names with those of another.
For instance, the two packages oqxfonts-scalablecq (real) and
oqxfonts-niftycq (hypothetical) may both install fonts into the
directory
/usr/lib/X11/fonts/Type1.
They each place their
fonts.scale
files in
/etc/X11/fonts/Type1/xfonts-scalable.scale
and
/etc/X11/fonts/Type1/xfonts-nifty.scale
(respectively).
update-fonts-scale
concatenates these two files (as well as any others that match
/etc/X11/fonts/Type1/*.scale)
into
/usr/lib/X11/fonts/Type1/fonts.scale.
The format for
fonts.scale
files is given in the
mkfontdir(1x)
manual page.
An example of how to use
update-fonts-scale
in package maintainer scripts is provided in the Debian Policy Manual.
OPTIONS
-h, --help
displays a brief usage message and exits.
OPERANDS
update-fonts-scale
takes one or more X font directory names to operate on as operands.
Only the final path component of the directory name should be specified;
e.g.,
update-fonts-scale 75dpi
is correct, while
oqupdate-fonts-scale /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpicq
and
oqupdate-fonts-scale /usr/lib/X11/fonts/75dpicq
are not.
ENVIRONMENT
COLUMNS
indicates the width of the terminal device in character cells.
This value is used for formatting diagnostic messages.
If not set, the terminal is queried using
stty(1)
to determine its width.
If that fails, a value of oq80cq is assumed.
DEBUG
determines whether low-level diagnostic messages are issued to standard error
output.
A null (empty) or unset value indicates that they are not, and a non-null
value indicates that they are.
DIAGNOSTICS
Errors
usage error: one or more font directories must be provided
update-fonts-scale
was invoked without operands.
Supply one or more X font directory names to operate on.
usage error: unrecognized option
update-fonts-scale
was invoked with an unrecognized option argument.
Use only the options documented in lqOPTIONSrq, above.
fatal error: path to X font directory must be used
A directory name was supplied that was not an X font directory name.
Supply X font directory names only.
Warnings
warning: absolute path directory was provided
Usage of absolute paths is deprecated.
Use only the final component of the X font directory name for
directory.
warning: directory does not exist or is not a directory
The supplied
directory
was invalid.
update-fonts-scale
skipped it.
Notes
Notes are only displayed under special circumstances; see lqENVIRONMENTrq.
above.
note: index references nonexistent font file filename
The index file
/etc/X11/fonts/directory/package.scale,
refers to a nonexistent font file,
filename.
This is normal when
package
has been removed, but not purged from the system.
In other circumstances, it likely indicates an error in
package.
EXIT STATUS
0
update-fonts-scale
ran successfully.
1
update-fonts-scale
experienced a fatal error; see the section on diagnostic messages above.
2
update-fonts-scale
was invoked with invalid arguments.
