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 directory is scanned for font
       files readable by FreeType.  A cache is created which contains  proper-
       ties  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  font-
                      config  library  at application startup to locate appro-
                      priate fonts.
