NAME
       buildafmdir - builds font index information

SYNOPSIS
       buildafmdir directory

DESCRIPTION
       Information  about  what fonts are available in a given Fonts directory
       is condensed into an index by buildafmdir.  This index is used  by  the
       FontManager  in	the Application Kit to do intelligent font conversion.
       The  directory  argument	  should   be	one   of   /NextLibrary/Fonts,
       /LocalLibrary/Fonts  or ~/Library/Fonts (the three directories searched
       by  the	Application  Kit  and  the  Window  Server  to	find   fonts).
       buildafmdir  creates  a	file  named  .fontdirectory  in	 the specified
       directory.

       Until a font installation application is available, this command should
       be run after any afm file is installed in a Fonts directory.

BUGS
       buildafmdir  is	only  as  accurate as the information in the afm files
       (which has been known to be relatively unreliable).
