cidxfonts(1)

     NAME
          cidxfonts - build X style font directory for CID-keyed fonts

     SYNOPSIS
          cidxfonts [-v] [-x x-font-dir] [-m ps2xlfd_map]

     DESCRIPTION
          cidxfonts is a utility normally run during the installation
          process which processes CID-keyed fonts and creates files
          necessary for the operation of the X server or font server.
          After preprocessing some of the font files to improve font
          performance, the fonts.scale file is created based on
          information in ps2xlfd_map files. Finally, cidxfonts will
          run mkfontdir to generate the necessary fonts.dir file.  If
          some condition exists that prevents cidxfonts from
          effectively generating a directory, the utility at least
          attempts to create a fonts.dir file with a "0" in it to
          indicate an empty font directory; if a fonts.dir file
          already exists, it is left alone.

          Warning: The old contents of fonts.scale will be overwritten
          and old generated files are remove before new files are
          created.

     OPTIONS
          cidxfonts supports the following getopt(3) style command
          line options:

          -v  Verbose output (not very verbose).

          -d  Debug output.

          -x x-font-directory
              Specifies the directory CID fonts are located in.  This
              defaults to /usr/lib/X11/fonts/CID.

          -m ps2xlfd_map
              Specifies the PostScript to XLFD mapping file.  This
              overrides the use of the PS2XLFD_MAP environment
              variable and the default /usr/lib/X11/fonts/ps2xlfd_map
              location.  This file and any files in the same directory
              ending in a dot-started suffix will be searched for
              mappings.  For example, you can create a file
              /usr/lib/X11/fonts/ps2xlfd_map.local for your own local
              mappings.

          mkfontdir(1), fs(1), X(1)

     ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
          PS2XLFD_MAP environment variable determines where to find
          the file supplying the mapping from PostScript font names to
          X XLFD names.  If unset, /usr/lib/X11/fonts/ps2xlfd_map is
          used.
