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.
