NAME

xfstt - X11 Font Server for TrueType fonts

SYNOPSIS

xfstt [--port n] [--notcp] [--dir dirname] [--cache cachedir] [--multi] [--once] [--user username] [--gslist] [--sync] [--unstrap] [--res resolution] [--encoding list] [--help]

DESCRIPTION

Xfstt serves TrueType fonts to X11 servers. Start xfstt then tell X11 about the font server with xset fp+ unix/:7101 or (assuming the X11 server runs on host 127.0.0.1) xset fp+ inet/127.0.0.1:7101

OPTIONS

--sync

Synchronize the font database with installed fonts and exit when done. Don't do this while xfstt is running.

--gslist

Print font list in a format usable for ghostscript during --sync.

--user username

This is a security feature which is designed to lessen the impact of any future security holes which are found in xfstt. This will cause xfstt to set its UID and GID to that of the specified user (if that user doesn't exist then it will use your current UID and GID)

--encoding

Remap to different encodings. Default is iso8859-1. Usage example:
xfstt --encoding iso8859-2,koi8-r,windows-1251
!!! NOTE: one comma but no blanks between the encodings !!!

--port number

Change the port number for xfstt's font services. This version of Xfstt defaults to port 7101.

--notcp

Don't open TCP socket, use unix domain only.

--dir name

Change xfstt's font directory. The default directory is /usr/share/xfstt/fonts/truetype.

--cache name

Change xfstt's font cache directory. The default directory is /var/cache/xfstt.

--pidfile name

Change xfstt's pidfile location. The default file name is /var/run/xfstt.pid.

--res value

Force the resolution for underspecified fonts to value (typically 96 or 120). Default is the value the X11 server suggests which can be adjusted by the -dpi option of the X11 server. Standard X11 servers have defaults of 72 dpi.

--unstrap

Allow some more unicode characters. This is dangerous for many X11 servers. Start the X server with the "-deferglyphs 16" option to give the X server a better chance of surviving. For very carefully implemented X servers you may recompile with UNSTRAPLIMIT set to 65535 in order to get the complete unicode range.

--once

Exit after the font client disconnects.

--multi

Opposite of --once option. This has become the default behaviour, so it is obsolete now and is ignored for backwards compatibility. It will be removed in a future release.

--inetd

Tell xfstt to be used as inetd service.

--daemon

Behave like a daemon.

--help

Print brief usage information on standard output and exit.
