.SH NAME
|
||
|
|
font_cacher \- font cacher for the GNUstep xlib Backend
|
||
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
||
|
|
\fBfont_cacher\fR [\fIoptions\fR]
|
||
|
|
.PP
|
||
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
||
|
|
The
|
||
|
|
.B font_cacher
|
||
|
|
program generates a cache from all available X fonts. The cache is
|
||
|
|
stored in
|
||
|
|
.I $HOME/GNUstep/Library/Fonts/Cache
|
||
|
|
and is used only by the GNUstep xlib backend. The xlib backend will
|
||
|
|
automatically launch
|
||
|
|
.B font_cacher
|
||
|
|
if the cache is not available or cannot be accessed. This can cause
|
||
|
|
some slowness when a GNUstep application is started for the first
|
||
|
|
time with xlib configured as backend.
|
||
|
|
.PP
|
||
|
|
Normally, the
|
||
|
|
.B font_cacher
|
||
|
|
program is used without options.

|
|
.SH BUGS AND LIMITATIONS
|
||
|
|
If
|
||
|
|
.I $HOME/GNUstep/Library
|
||
|
|
does not exist,
|
||
|
|
.B font_cacher
|
||
|
|
will fail and the directory must be created manually.
|
||
|
|
.PP
|
||
|
|
When fonts are installed or removed, the program must be invoked
|
||
|
|
explicitly to update the cache. There is no way to handle this
|
||
|
|
automatically.
