Create an index of freetype font files in a directory

Usage

xftcache [directory-name ...]

Overview

If directory arguments are not given, xftcache uses each directory in the current Xft configuration. Each directory is scanned for font files readable by FreeType. A cache is created which contains properties of each font and the associated filename. This cache is used to speed application startup when using the Xft library.
