<title>DESCRIPTION</title>
<para><command>&dhpackage;</command> scans the font directories on
the system and builds font information cache files for
applications using fontconfig for their font handling.</para>
<para>If directory arguments are not given,
<command>&dhpackage;</command> 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 associated filename.
This cache is used to speed up application startup when using
the fontconfig library.</para>
<para>Note that <command>&dhpackage;</command> must be executed
once per architecture to generate font information customized
for that architecture.</para>
