NAME
chkfontpath - simple interface for adding, removing, and listing directories in the X font server's pathSYNOPSIS
chkfontpath [-lqfh] [-a name of directory to add] [-r name of directory to remove]DESCRIPTION
chkfontpath provides a simple method of configuring the directories contained in the X font server's path. As of Red Hat 6.0, all fonts in X are served via this separate font server process, not through the main X server process. This speeds up font rendering, and also allows use of font servers which are not running on the local host.
chkfontpath is mainly used by rpm in its %post and %postun sections to add and remove new directories to the server's config file at installation and de-installation time of packages containing fonts.
- -a, --add=name of directory to add
- Add a directory to the font path.
- -r, --remove=name of directory to remove
- Remove a directory from the font path.
- -l, --list
- List all directories in the font path.
- -q, --quiet
- Quiet operation; don't display any output to the screen, even when there is an error during operation.
- -f, --first
- Requires usage of the add command; puts the specified directory first in the font path, rather than last.
- -h, --help
- Show detailed help on the command line.
When directories are added to the path, some sanity checking is performed to make sure you are not adding a directory without the file fonts.dir contained in it, which the server needs to be able to render fonts properly. When a path is succesfully added or removed, the xfs process is restarted if it is currently running.
RETURN CODES
chkfontpath returns 0 on success, or 1 on error.FILES
- /etc/X11/fs/config
- Configuration file for the X font server (xfs).
