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, .otf, .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).
