Defoma then calls Defoma-configuration-scripts provided by applications to make the font(s) configured for the applications which can make use of them. It is supposed to be called from postinst and prerm scripts, but may be called from console for not-packaged addon fonts. There are two methods of registering/unregistering font(s): by specifying one font with its hints, or through a ''hintfile'' , which describes several fonts with their hints. Font packages may possibly use the latter method, installing a ''hintfile'' under /etc/defoma/hints as conffile. The latter method has '-all' added in the commands. ''category'' specifies the category of a font like type1, truetype and so on. ''font'' specifies the font itself and is either a full path to the font, or a logical font name. ''hints'' specify the hints of the font, which contain essential information of the font like !FontName, Charset and Encoding, appearance information of the font representing its face like Weight, Shape, !GeneralFamily and Width, and additional informaiton of the font like Alias and Priority. !!COMMANDS __register__ Register the specified ''font'' with the specified ''hints'' into the specified ''category'' unless the font is already registered. __unregister__ Unregister the specified ''font'' which must be already registered in the specified ''category''. If the font is marked as use or exclude in an Id cache of a certain application, the marks are left intact. __reregister__ If the specified ''font'' is already registered, the registered hints and the specified ''hints'' are compared. If these hints differs, the font first gets unregistered and then newly registered with the specified new hints. If the font is not registered, following process is the same as __register__ command. __purge__ This command is almost the same as __unregister__ command, except that this command removes the marks in an Id cache. __register-all__ __unregister-all__ __reregister-all__ __purge-all__ These commands operate all the fonts written in the specified ''hintfile''. !!OPTIONS __-t__ Exit with true value (0) even if error occurs. __-v__ Verbose output. __-d__ More verbose output. __-q__ Quiet output. !!EXAMPLES defoma-font -vt register type1 /usr/share/fonts/type1/foo.pfa \ --!FontName Helvetica --Charset ISO8859-1 --Weight Medium \ --Shape Upright !NoSerif --!GeneralFamily !SansSerif defoma-font reregister-all /etc/defoma/hints/microsoft.hints !!SEE ALSO defoma(1). ----
