+.SH DESCRIPTION
+For each directory argument,
+.I 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
+.B fonts.scale
+in the directory.
+
+The resulting
+.B fonts.scale
+file should be checked and possibly manually edited before being used
+as input for the
+.BR mkfontdir (1)
+program.
+

+add
+.I encoding
+to the list of encodings searched for.

+set the fraction of characters that may be missing in large encodings to

+percent.  Defaults to 2%.
