NAME
       defoma-app - configure a specific application about fonts registered in
       Debian Font Manager.

SYNOPSIS
       defoma-app [options] clean application [category..]
       defoma-app [options] update application [category..]
       defoma-app [options] purge application
       defoma-app [options] ignore application [category..]

DESCRIPTION
       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 cate
       gories 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  applica
       tion 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 cate
	      gory. 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 in
	      stalled 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 ap
	      plication gets called with unregister command for each  font  of
	      the category.

       purge  This  command  is almost the same as clean command. It only dif
	      fers on removing the script installed in the defoma data	direc
	      tory  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-configura
	      tion 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.

OPTIONS
       -t     Exit with true value (0) even if error occurs.

       -v     Verbose output.

       -d     Debug/Testing mode.

       -q     Quiet output.
