XORG-X11-F...PDATE-DIRS(1)

✨ NAME ✨

xorg-x11-fonts-update-dirs — bestie, this is the little script that updates your X11 font directories 💅 (it's a page from the General Commands Manual, and yeah, the title's that mouthful XORG-X11-F...PDATE-DIRS(1) — we don't talk about the truncation, it's giving cursed filename energy 😭)

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

xorg-x11-fonts-update-dirs [--skip-fontscale] [--need-ttmkfdir] path

That's it. One path, two optional flags, zero drama (well… almost zero, keep reading 👀).

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so here's the tea ☕ — the xorg-x11-fonts-* rpm packages call xorg-x11-fonts-update-dirs during %post and %postun to update the X11 font indices. That's its whole job. It's a backstage crew member, not a main character 🫶

⚠️ GIRLIE LISTEN. This script may change in incompatible ways without notice and you should not run this script manually or rely on it otherwise. Like, do not make it your personality. Do not build your whole workflow on it. It will switch up on you with zero warning and no apology 💀

If you do need to manually update the font indices, invoke mkfontscale and ttmkfdir directly as required. Those are the real ones. Go straight to the source, no middleman, iconic behaviour ✨

and that's the whole page, bestie 💖 no cap, it's short and it knows it. this lil' slice of the General Commands Manual is dated 25 July 2014 — a vintage era, honestly, and the title up top is still XORG-X11-F...PDATE-DIRS(1) because some things never change 🎀 stay slay, don't run the script manually, mwah 💋🌈
