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.
