GRACE(8)

✨ GRACE(8) — the one and only 💅

okay bestie, sit down, we're talking about a lil script from the System Manager's Manual called update-grace-fonts, and honestly? she's quiet, she's lowkey, but she's the reason your fonts don't look a whole mess. 🎀

🌸 NAME 🌸

update-grace-fonts — regenerate the font database for xmgrace

like... the name literally says it. no notes. 💖

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

update-grace-fonts

that's it. that's the whole synopsis. no flags, no args, no drama, just a girl doing her job. ✨

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

so here's the tea, bestie 🫖 — this script regenerates the (xm)grace font database, and to do that it scans over all available type1 fonts. all of them. the whole roster. main character energy fr fr. 👑

and like, here's the thing: it gets called automatically by maintainer scripts and dpkg triggers, so it's basically already in the group chat doing its thing without you asking. 🙈

⚠️ no cap: you should not normally need to run it directly — unless you've installed type1 fonts outside the package manager. that's the one exception, bestie. that's the only time she needs a personal invite. 💅
