files in a directory
SYNOPSIS
fc-cache [directory-name ... ]
DESCRIPTION
If directory arguments are not given, fc-cache uses each
directory in the current font configuration. Each directory
is scanned for font files readable by FreeType. A cache is
created which contains properties of each font and the asso-
ciated filename. This cache is used to speed application
startup when using the fontconfig library.
FILES
fonts.cache Maps file names to font properties. Read by
the fontconfig library at application startup
to locate appropriate fonts.
