buildafmdir - builds font index information
SYNOPSIS
buildafmdir 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.
BUGS
buildafmdir is only as accurate as the information in the afm files
(which has been known to be relatively unreliable).
