.TH MKNFONTS 1 "March 12, 2004"
.SH NAME
mknfonts \- create nfont packages
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B mknfonts
.RI [ options ] " files" ...
.SH DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the
.B mknfonts
command.
This manual page was written for the Debian distribution
because the original program does not have a manual page.
.PP
\fBmknfonts\fP doesn't completely automate the process of creating
nfont-packages, but it can do most of the bulk work for you. Just put a
bunch of fonts (.ttf, .otf, .pfa, .pfb, .afm, ...; most formats that freetype
can handle and provide postscript names for) in an empty directory and run:
.TP
mknfonts *
.TP
You'll get a bunch of packages ready to be moved to .../Library/Fonts/. For best results, you'll want to review the packages. Most traits/weights (besides the really standard ones) won't be handled automatically, so you'll have to add or tweak them manually if you want GNUstep to know about them.
.SH OPTIONS
These programs follow the usual GNU command line syntax, with long
options starting with two dashes (`-').
.SH SEE ALSO
.BR GNUstep (7).
