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).
