defoma-app
is a tool to configure the fonts registered in Defoma, Debian Font Manager,
for a specific application. Defoma calls the Defoma-configuration script
of the specified application with register or unregister command for each
of the fonts registered in the categories accepted by the application.
It is supposed to be invoked from postinst/prerm scripts of application
packages, but may be invoked from console.
application
specifies the name of the application that is going to be configured.
The specified application must have
application-name.defoma
perl script under
/usr/share/defoma/scripts.
If
category
is specified, only the fonts in the specified categories get processed.
Otherwise all the fonts in all the categories accepted by the application get
processed.
COMMANDS
update
Update the configuration of the specified
application
about the fonts registered in the specified
category.
category
can be omitted. When it is specified and the specified category is set
ignored
(to be mentioned later),
ignore
flag gets unset so the category gets updated.
Internally the Defoma-configuration script of the
application gets called with
unregister
command first and then with
register
command for each font of the category. Some directories and symlinks
specified in the header of the script might be generated automatically.
This command should be invoked when the Defoma-configuration script is
newly installed or updated so that the script gets installed to Defoma
data directory and the fonts get configured to the application. It means
it is supposed to be invoked on the postinst configure phase.
clean
Clean up the configuration of the specified
application
about the fonts registered in the specified
category.
category
can be omitted. Internally the Defoma-configuration script of the
application gets called with
unregister
command for each font of the category.
purge
This command is almost the same as
clean
command. It only differs on removing the script installed in the defoma data
directory and some directories and symlinks if any was generated
in the update command before.
This command should be invoked when the Defoma-configuration script is
going to be removed so that the script gets removed and the font configuration
gets cleaned. It means it is supposed to be invoked on the prerm remove phase.
ignore
This command makes the specified
application
not use the fonts registered in the specified
category.
It removes the fonts in the category out of the font configuration and
sets the `ignore' flag against the category in order to make the
Defoma-configuration script of the application not accept fonts in the
category. If
category
is omitted, all categories gets ignored. To unset the `ignore' flag,
run defoma-app with
update
command and the category against which you want to unset the flag.
