TRUETYPEFS(4)                                       TRUETYPEFS(4)

     NAME
          truetypefs - TrueType font file system

     SYNOPSIS
          truetypefs [ -F fontpath ]

     DESCRIPTION
          Truetypefs serves a read-only filesystem at /n/ttf that gen-
          erates fonts and subfonts from TrueType fonts which can be
          used in the Plan 9 graphics system.

          By default, fonts are loaded from /lib/font/ttf/.  The -F
          flag may be used to set the path TrueType fonts are loaded
          from.

          Truetypefs generates subfonts when they are accessed.  Fonts
          are specified via a TrueType font file name followed by a
          font size.  For example, /n/ttf/unifont.ttf.16/font is a
          font(6) file generated for GNU Unifont at a size of 16.

     EXAMPLES
          Use size 16 GNU Unifont for acme(1):

               truetypefs
               font=/n/ttf/unifont.ttf.16/font
               acme -c 1 /lib/glass
