update-xfonts-traditional generates versions of X11 PCF
fonts which have been edited to restore compatibility with traditional
versions of US-ASCII, and to restore some of the glyphs to more traditional
appearance.
- --bdf-filter
- Takes a BDF on standard input and tries to generate an edited BDF on
standard output.
- --process-pcf
- Takes to PCF filename arguments; the input PCF is uncompressed, decompiled
to a BDF, processed, recompiled to a PCF and recompressed.
- --process-fontdirs
- In each fontdir all files font.pcf.gz are processed,
to generate where applicable corresponding
trad--font.pcf.gz files. The mtime, ctime and inode
number of the input files are recorded so that reprocessing the same
directory later will be fast.
- --process-fonttrees
- Each fonttree is searched for font directories which are processed
as above.
- --update
- Each built in font tree location is searched for font directories which
are processed as above.
- -R|--rules-path
rulespath
- Prepend rulespath to the path of directories from which to load
glyph editing rules.
- --share-dir
share-dir
- Use share-dir instead of
/usr[/local]/share/xfonts-traditional.
- --parallel|-j
cpus
- Use up to cpus cores for processing fonts. The default is all the
cpus available.
- --always-reprocess
- When scanning font directories, always reprocess all the fonts, regardless
of whether we think they have been done already.
- --no-tolerate-bad-fonts
- Treat bad input fonts (eg, ones for which pcf2bdf crashes, or ones with
other problems) as a fatal error. Normally they just produce a
warning.
- xfonts-traditional.done
- In each font directory, records information about processed fonts, so as
to optimise away unnecessary reprocessing.
- xfonts-traditional.log
- In each font directory, records a lot of which fonts were processed and to
a certain extent if not why not.
- /usr/share/fonts/X11 /usr/local/share/fonts/X11
- Default font tree paths for --update.
- trad--font.pcf.gz
- In any font directory, our output files. Any other files matching this
pattern may be overwritten or deleted.
- 0
- All went well and there were no warnings.
- 2
- With --bdf-filter and --process-pcf only, indicates that the
input font did not need to be edited, or was not suitable for editing, and
has not been written out, so the output is incomplete, but this is
not an error.
- any other
- There were problems.
Only the 6x13 font conventionally called supported. This package
comes too late to rescue Unix from an incompatible change to its character
set.
