  77     <title>DESCRIPTION</title>
  78
  79       <para><command>&dhpackage;</command> scans the font directories on
  80         the system and builds font information cache files for
  81         applications using fontconfig for their font handling.</para>
  82
  83       <para>If directory arguments are not given,
  84         <command>&dhpackage;</command> uses each directory in the
  85         current font configuration. Each directory is scanned for
  86         font files readable by FreeType.  A cache is created which
  87         contains properties of each font and the associated filename.
  88         This cache is used to speed up application startup when using
  89         the fontconfig library.</para>
  90
  91       <para>Note that <command>&dhpackage;</command> must be executed
  92         once per architecture to generate font information customized
  93         for that architecture.</para>
