79 | ||
80 | <para><command>&dhpackage;</command> scans the font directories on | |
81 | the system and builds font information cache files for | |
82 | applications using fontconfig for their font handling.</para> | |
83 | ||
84 | <para>If directory arguments are not given, | |
85 | <command>&dhpackage;</command> uses each directory in the | |
86 | current font configuration. Each directory is scanned for | |
87 | font files readable by FreeType. A cache is created which | |
88 | contains properties of each font and the associated filename. | |
89 | This cache is used to speed up application startup when using | |
90 | the fontconfig library.</para> | |
91 | ||

92 | <para>Note that <command>&dhpackage;</command> must be executed |
93 | once per architecture to generate font information customized | |
35c51811 | 94 | for that architecture.</para> |
