ITP: defoma -- Debian Font Manager



(submitting to wnpp is already done.)

Defoma stands for Debian Font Manager. It provides automatic font
configuration framework and some nice useful features like alias,
priority and substitution. 

One of the components, defoma-ps manages PostScript fonts.
It includes a program to register PostScript fonts installed
in a PostScript printer, which enables these fonts appear
in the font-choosing menu of postscript-outputting applications.
In addition, it provides a list of available PostScript fonts and XLFDs
which substitute for the PostScript fonts, so that X applications
which need a pair of a PostScript font and a XLFD for their
font configuration can easily perform font configuration.

There were no framework for automatic font configuration so
applications force users to manage to do configure fonts by
themselves. I belieave Defoma will solve this problem.
