FONT_UPDATE_2.0(1)					    FONT_UPDATE_2.0(1)

NAME
       font_update_2.0 - updates PostScript fonts for 2.0 WindowServer

SYNOPSIS
       /usr/bin/font_update_2.0 [ librarydir ...  ]

DESCRIPTION
       font_update_2.0	is  a  C shell script used to reorganize NEXTSTEP font
       directories from NEXTSTEP Release 1.0 style  to	NEXTSTEP  Release  2.0
       (and  later)  style.   Fonts in NEXTSTEP exist in three subdirectories:
       /NextLibrary/Fonts,    /LocalLibrary/Fonts,    and     ~/Library/Fonts.
       Previously,  each  PostScript  font  had its component files split into
       three subdirectories (outline, bitmap,  and  afm).   Now,  all  of  the
       information  for a given font is stored in a single subdirectory called
       <fontname>.font.	  For  example,	 in  the  new	scheme,	  an   ls   of
       /NextLibrary/Fonts will give:

	    Courier-Bold.font
	    Courier-BoldOblique.font
	    Courier-Oblique.font
	    Courier.font
	    Helvetica-Bold.font
	    <etc>

       This  new  structure  allows  fonts  to	be simply maintained using the
       Workspace.

       This shell script builds this new structure for whatever fonts exist in
       the <dir>/Fonts/outline directory.  If no argument is passed, ~/Library
       is used.	 font_update_2.0 also leaves behind symbolic links for the old
       style,  allowing	 older	appkits	 and applications that rely on the old
       font organization to  work.   The  WindowServer	itself	supports  both
       organizations.

EXAMPLES
       Root should do the following during a 2.0 update:

	    >font_update_2.0 /NextLibrary /LocalLibrary

       Users  with  fonts in ~/Library should do the following to update their
       personal fonts (most people don't have any):

	    >font_update_2.0
