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.
