FC-CACHE(1) FC-CACHE(1) NAME fc-cache - build font information cache files SYNOPSIS fc-cache [ -EfrsvVh ] [ --error-on-no-fonts ] [ --force ] [ --re- ally-force ] [ [ -y dir ] [ --sysroot dir ] ] [ --system-only ] [ --verbose ] [ --version ] [ --help ] [ dir... ] DESCRIPTION fc-cache scans the font directories on the system and builds font in- formation cache files for applications using fontconfig for their font handling. 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 up application startup when using the fontconfig library. Note that fc-cache must be executed once per architecture to generate font information customized for that architecture. OPTIONS This program follows the usual GNU command line syntax, with long op- tions starting with two dashes (`-'). A summary of options is included below. -E Raise an error if there are no fonts in dir or directories in the configuration if not given. -f Force re-generation of apparently up-to-date cache files, over- riding the timestamp checking. -r Erase all existing cache files and rescan. -s Only scan system-wide directories, omitting the places located in the user's home directory. -v Display status information while busy. -y Prepend dir to all paths for scanning. -h Show summary of options. -V Show version of the program and exit. dir Directory to scan for fonts. RETURN CODES fc-cache returns zero if the caches successfully generated. otherwise non-zero. FILES %cachedir%/*-%arch%.cache-%version% These files are generated by fc-cache and contain maps from file names to font properties. They are read by the fontconfig li- brary at application startup to locate appropriate fonts.
