+For each directory argument, mkfontscale reads all of the scalable font files
+in the directory. For every font file found, an X11 font name (XLFD) is
+generated, and is written together with the file name to a file fonts.scale
+in the directory.
+
+The resulting fonts.scale file should be checked and possibly manually edited
+before being used as input for the mkfontdir(1) program.
