indexttf - Add TrueType fonts to PPR's database
indexttf file1 file2 file3 ... filen
The arguments to indexttf are a list of TrueType font files. These files
should be in the format used by Microsoft Windows. Indexttf opens each file
and reads its PostScript name. The PostScript name and the file name are
added to a database which PPR uses to find TrueType fonts to include in
documents.
Indexttf will not add a font if there is already a font with that PostScript
name in the database. The only way to remove entries from the database is
to delete the file /etc/ppr/ttfonts.db.
It is recomended that you put the TrueType fonts you want to use in the
directory /usr/ppr/TTFonts and then index them with the command
$ /usr/ppr/bin/indexttf /usr/ppr/TTFonts/*.ttf
All file names fed to indexttf should be fully qualified.
The TrueType font database is stored in the file /etc/ppr/ttfonts.db.
Prior to version 1.30 it was stored in /etc/ppr/ttfonts.
If you choose to compile PPR without GDBM, this program will be
non-functional.
