BUILDAFMDIR(1)BUILDAFMDIR(1)NAMEbuildafmdir - builds font index information
SYNOPSISbuildafmdir directory
DESCRIPTION
Information about what fonts are available in a given Fonts directory
is condensed into an index by buildafmdir. This index is used by the
FontManager in the Application Kit to do intelligent font conversion.
The directory argument should be one of /NextLibrary/Fonts,
/LocalLibrary/Fonts or ~/Library/Fonts (the three directories searched
by the Application Kit and the Window Server to find fonts).
buildafmdir creates a file named .fontdirectory in the specified
directory.
Until a font installation application is available, this command should
be run after any afm file is installed in a Fonts directory.
BUGSbuildafmdir is only as accurate as the information in the afm files
(which has been known to be relatively unreliable).
