We report the scintillation spectra of Ar-CF$_4$ mixtures in the range 210-800~nm, obtained under X-ray irradiation for various pressures (1-5~bar) and concentrations (0-100%). Special care was taken to eliminate effects related to space charge and recombination, so that results can be extrapolated following conventional wisdom to those expected for minimum ionizing particles under the typical electric fields employed in gaseous instrumentation. Our study sheds light into the microscopic pathways leading to scintillation in this family of mixtures.
