NAME

       defoma-subst - Modify a rulefile of Defoma font substitution system.

SYNOPSIS

       defoma-subst [options] new-rule rulename [additional-lines...]
       defoma-subst [options] edit-rule rulename
       defoma-subst [options] add-rule rulename rules...
       defoma-subst [options] remove-rule rulename rules...
       defoma-subst check-rule rulename

DESCRIPTION

       defoma-subst  is  a  tool  to  create/edit  a  rulefile  of Defoma font
       substitution system.  This system makes a certain font provide an user-
       specified id. Rulefile exists in order not only to specify such ids but
       also to have more similar fonts containing same  characters  substitute
       for the id.

       Following is the form of rulefile.

       # comment..
       # comment..
       Helvetica --GeneralFamily SansSerif --Shape NoSerif \
         Upright --Weight Medium --Charset,* ISO8859-1
       Helvetica-Bold --GeneralFamily SansSerif --Shape NoSerif \
         Upright --Weight Medium --Charset,* ISO8859-1

       In this example Helvetica and Helvetica-Bold are need-to-be-substituted
       ids, and following hints represent information of these two fonts.  The
       asterisk added to Charset hinttype with comma means Charset is required
       to match.

COMMANDS

       new-rule
              Create a new  rulefile  rulename.subst-rule  under  /etc/defoma.
              additional-lines  are  added  to the file as comments or default
              rules.  Quote  each  rule  or  comment  with  single  or  double
              quotations.

       edit-rule
              Edit   the  rulefile  specified  by  rulename.   After  editing,
              modification is reflected to the  related  Id  cache.  In  other
              words,  new ids would be added provided by substitutive fonts to
              the Id cache if a rule is added, and  registered  ids  would  be
              removed from the Id cache if a rule is removed.

       add-rule
              Add  one  or  more  rules  specified  by  rules to the specified
              rulename.  Quote each rule with single or double quotations.

       remove-rule
              Remove one or more rules specified by rules from  the  specified
              rulename.  Quote each rule with single or double quotations.

       check-rule
              Check  if  the rulefile specified by rulename exists. It returns
              zero when the rulefile exists, and non-zero (actually one)  when
              the rulefile doesn’t exist.

OPTIONS

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

       -v     Verbose output.

       -d     More verbose output.

       -q     Quiet output.

EXAMPLES

       1. Create foo.subst-rule with some comments and default rules.

       defoma-subst new-rule foo ’# This is a comment. ’ \
         ’# Run defoma-subst edit-rule foo to edit this file.’ \
         ’Times-Roman --GeneralFamily Roman --Charset,* ISO8859-1’ \
         ’Kanji-H --GeneralFamily Mincho --Charset,* JISX0208’

       2. Add some rules to foo.subst-rule.

       defoma-subst add-rule foo \
         ’Times-Roman --GeneralFamily Roman --Charset,* ISO8859-1’ \
         ’Kanji-H --GeneralFamily Mincho --Charset,* JISX0208’ \
