NAME¶
xfstt - X11 Font Server for TrueType fonts
SYNOPSIS¶
xfstt [
options]
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
item[,...]
- Remap to different encodings, listed each separated by a
comma. Default is iso8859-1. Usage example:
xfstt --encoding
iso8859-2,koi8-r,windows-1251
- --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/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.
- --inetd
- Tell xfstt to be used as inetd service.
- --daemon
- Behave like a daemon.
- --help
- Print brief usage information on standard output and
exit.
- --version
- Show the program version.
