NAME
mknfonts - create nfont packages
SYNOPSIS
mknfonts [options] files...
DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the mknfonts command. This manual
page was written for the Debian distribution because the original
program does not have a manual page.
mknfonts 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, .pfa, .pfb, .afm, ...; most formats that freetype can
handle and provide postscript names for) in an empty directory and run:
mknfonts *
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.
OPTIONS
These programs follow the usual GNU command line syntax, with long
options starting with two dashes (‘-’).
SEE ALSO
GNUstep(7).
