From an external perspective, configuration of the library consists of generating a valid XML tree and feeding that to FcConfigParse. The only other mechanism provided to applications for changing the running configuration is to add fonts and directories to the list of application-provided font files. The intent is to make font configurations relatively static, and shared by as many applications as possible. It is hoped that this will lead to more stable font selection when passing names from one application to another. XML was chosen as a configuration file format because it provides a format which is easy for external agents to edit while retaining the correct structure and syntax. Font configuration is separate from font matching; applications needing to do their own matching can access the available fonts from the library and perform private matching. The intent is to permit applications to pick and choose appropriate functionality from the library instead of forcing them to choose between this library and a private configuration mechanism. The hope is that this will ensure that configuration of fonts for all applications can be centralized in one place. Centralizing font configuration will simplify and regularize font installation and customization. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ FONT PROPERTIES While font patterns may contain essentially any properties, there are some well known properties with associated types. Fontconfig uses some of these properties for font matching and font completion. Others are provided as a convenience for the applications rendering mechanism. Property Definitions Property CPP Symbol Type Description ---------------------------------------------------- family FC_FAMILY String Font family names familylang FC_FAMILYLANG String Language cooresponding to each family name style FC_STYLE String Font style. Overrides weight and slant stylelang FC_STYLELANG String Language cooresponding to each style name fullname FC_FULLNAME String Font face full name where different from family and family + style fullnamelang FC_FULLNAMELANG String Language cooresponding to each fullname slant FC_SLANT Int Italic, oblique or roman weight FC_WEIGHT Int Light, medium, demibold, bold or black size FC_SIZE Double Point size width FC_WIDTH Int Condensed, normal or expanded aspect FC_ASPECT Double Stretches glyphs horizontally before hinting pixelsize FC_PIXEL_SIZE Double Pixel size spacing FC_SPACING Int Proportional, dual-width, monospace or charcell foundry FC_FOUNDRY String Font foundry name antialias FC_ANTIALIAS Bool Whether glyphs can be antialiased hinting FC_HINTING Bool Whether the rasterizer should use hinting hintstyle FC_HINT_STYLE Int Automatic hinting style verticallayout FC_VERTICAL_LAYOUT Bool Use vertical layout autohint FC_AUTOHINT Bool Use autohinter instead of normal hinter globaladvance FC_GLOBAL_ADVANCE Bool Use font global advance data file FC_FILE String The filename holding the font index FC_INDEX Int The index of the font within the file ftface FC_FT_FACE FT_Face Use the specified FreeType face object rasterizer FC_RASTERIZER String Which rasterizer is in use outline FC_OUTLINE Bool Whether the glyphs are outlines scalable FC_SCALABLE Bool Whether glyphs can be scaled scale FC_SCALE Double Scale factor for point->pixel conversions dpi FC_DPI Double Target dots per inch rgba FC_RGBA Int unknown, rgb, bgr, vrgb, vbgr, none - subpixel geometry lcdfilter FC_LCD_FILTER Int Type of LCD filter minspace FC_MINSPACE Bool Eliminate leading from line spacing charset FC_CHARSET CharSet Unicode chars encoded by the font lang FC_LANG LangSet Set of RFC-3066-style languages this font supports fontversion FC_FONTVERSION Int Version number of the font capability FC_CAPABILITY String List of layout capabilities in the font embolden FC_EMBOLDEN Bool Rasterizer should synthetically embolden the font ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Datatypes Fontconfig uses abstract datatypes to hide internal implementation details for most data structures. A few structures are exposed where appropriate. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ FcChar8, FcChar16, FcChar32, FcBool These are primitive datatypes; the FcChar* types hold precisely the number of bits stated (if supported by the C implementation). FcBool holds one of two CPP symbols: FcFalse or FcTrue. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ FcMatrix An FcMatrix holds an affine transformation, usually used to reshape glyphs. A small set of matrix operations are provided to manipulate these. typedef struct _FcMatrix { double xx, xy, yx, yy; } FcMatrix; ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ FcCharSet An FcCharSet is an abstract type that holds the set of encoded unicode chars in a font. Operations to build and compare these sets are provided. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ FcLangSet An FcLangSet is an abstract type that holds the set of languages supported by a font. Operations to build and compare these sets are provided. These are computed for a font based on orthographic information built into the fontconfig library. Fontconfig has orthographies for all of the ISO 639-1 languages except for MS, NA, PA, PS, QU, RN, RW, SD, SG, SN, SU and ZA. If you have orthographic information for any of these languages, please submit them. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ FcLangResult An FcLangResult is an enumeration used to return the results of comparing two language strings or FcLangSet objects. FcLangEqual means the objects match language and territory. FcLangDifferentTerritory means the objects match in language but differ in territory. FcLangDifferentLang means the objects differ in language. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ FcType Tags the kind of data stored in an FcValue. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ FcValue An FcValue object holds a single value with one of a number of different types. The 'type' tag indicates which member is valid. typedef struct _FcValue { FcType type; union { const FcChar8 *s; int i; FcBool b; double d; const FcMatrix *m; const FcCharSet *c; void *f; const FcLangSet *l; } u; } FcValue; FcValue Members Type Union member Datatype -------------------------------- FcTypeVoid (none) (none) FcTypeInteger i int FcTypeDouble d double FcTypeString s FcChar8 * FcTypeBool b b FcTypeMatrix m FcMatrix * FcTypeCharSet c FcCharSet * FcTypeFTFace f void * (FT_Face) FcTypeLangSet l FcLangSet * ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ FcPattern holds a set of names with associated value lists; each name refers to a property of a font. FcPatterns are used as inputs to the matching code as well as holding information about specific fonts. Each property can hold one or more values; conventionally all of the same type, although the interface doesn't demand that. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ FcFontSet typedef struct _FcFontSet { int nfont; int sfont; FcPattern **fonts; } FcFontSet; An FcFontSet contains a list of FcPatterns. Internally fontconfig uses this data structure to hold sets of fonts. Externally, fontconfig returns the results of listing fonts in this format. 'nfont' holds the number of patterns in the 'fonts' array; 'sfont' is used to indicate the size of that array. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ FcStrSet, FcStrList FcStrSet holds a list of strings that can be appended to and enumerated. Its unique characteristic is that the enumeration works even while strings are appended during enumeration. FcStrList is used during enumeration to safely and correctly walk the list of strings even while that list is edited in the middle of enumeration. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ FcObjectSet typedef struct _FcObjectSet { int nobject; int sobject; const char **objects; } FcObjectSet; holds a set of names and is used to specify which fields from fonts are placed in the the list of returned patterns when listing fonts. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ FcObjectType typedef struct _FcObjectType { const char *object; FcType type; } FcObjectType; marks the type of a pattern element generated when parsing font names. Applications can add new object types so that font names may contain the new elements. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ FcConstant typedef struct _FcConstant { const FcChar8 *name; const char *object; int value; } FcConstant; Provides for symbolic constants for new pattern elements. When 'name' is seen in a font name, an 'object' element is created with value 'value'. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ FcBlanks holds a list of Unicode chars which are expected to be blank; unexpectedly blank chars are assumed to be invalid and are elided from the charset associated with the font. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ FcFileCache holds the per-user cache information for use while loading the font database. This is built automatically for the current configuration when that is loaded. Applications must always pass '0' when one is requested. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ FcConfig holds a complete configuration of the library; there is one default configuration, other can be constructed from XML data structures. All public entry points that need global data can take an optional FcConfig* argument; passing 0 uses the default configuration. FcConfig objects hold two sets of fonts, the first contains those specified by the configuration, the second set holds those added by the application at run-time. Interfaces that need to reference a particulat set use one of the FcSetName enumerated values. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ FcSetName Specifies one of the two sets of fonts available in a configuration; FcSetSystem for those fonts specified in the configuration and FcSetApplication which holds fonts provided by the application. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ FcResult Used as a return type for functions manipulating FcPattern objects. FcResult Values Result Code Meaning ----------------------------------------------------------- FcResultMatch Object exists with the specified ID FcResultNoMatch Object doesn't exist at all FcResultTypeMismatch Object exists, but the type doesn't match FcResultNoId Object exists, but has fewer values than specified FcResultOutOfMemory Malloc failed ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ FcAtomic Used for locking access to config files. Provides a safe way to update configuration files. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ FcCache Holds information about the fonts contained in a single directory. Normal applications need not worry about this as caches for font access are automatically managed by the library. Applications dealing with cache management may want to use some of these objects in their work, however the included 'fc-cache' program generally suffices for all of that. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ FUNCTIONS These are grouped by functionality, often using the main datatype being manipulated. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Initialization Table of Contents FcInitLoadConfig -- load configuration FcInitLoadConfigAndFonts -- load configuration and font data FcInit -- initialize fontconfig library FcFini -- finalize fonconfig library FcGetVersion -- library version number FcInitReinitialize -- re-initialize library FcInitBringUptoDate -- reload configuration files if needed These functions provide some control over how the library is initialized.

FcPatternCreate Name FcPatternCreate -- Create a pattern Synopsis #include <fontconfig.h> FcPattern * FcPatternCreate(void); Description Creates a pattern with no properties; used to build patterns from scratch. Version Fontconfig version 2.8.0 FcPatternDuplicate Name FcPatternDuplicate -- Copy a pattern Synopsis #include <fontconfig.h> FcPattern * FcPatternDuplicate(const FcPattern *p); Description Copy a pattern, returning a new pattern that matches p. Each pattern may be modified without affecting the other.

Version Fontconfig version 2.8.0 FcPatternAdd Name FcPatternAdd -- Add a value to a pattern Synopsis #include <fontconfig.h> FcBool FcPatternAdd(FcPattern *p, const char *object, FcValue value, FcBool append); Description Adds a single value to the list of values associated with the property named `object. If `append is FcTrue, the value is added at the end of any existing list, otherwise it is inserted at the begining. `value' is saved (with FcValueSave) when inserted into the pattern so that the library retains no reference to any application-supplied data structure. Version Fontconfig version 2.8.0 FcPatternAddWeak Name FcPatternAddWeak -- Add a value to a pattern with weak binding Synopsis #include <fontconfig.h> FcBool FcPatternAddWeak(FcPattern *p, const char *object, FcValue value, FcBool append); Description FcPatternAddWeak is essentially the same as FcPatternAdd except that any values added to the list have binding weak instead of strong. Version Fontconfig version 2.8.0 FcPatternAdd-Type Name FcPatternAddInteger, FcPatternAddDouble, FcPatternAddString, FcPatternAddMatrix, FcPatternAddCharSet, FcPatternAddBool, FcPatternAddFTFace, FcPatternAddLangSet -- Add a typed value to a pattern Synopsis #include <fontconfig.h> FcBool FcPatternAddInteger(FcPattern *p, const char *object, int i); FcBool FcPatternAddDouble(FcPattern *p, const char *object, double d); FcBool FcPatternAddString(FcPattern *p, const char *object, const FcChar8 *s); FcBool FcPatternAddMatrix(FcPattern *p, const char *object, const FcMatrix *m); FcBool FcPatternAddCharSet(FcPattern *p, const char *object, const FcCharSet *c ); FcBool FcPatternAddBool(FcPattern *p, const char *object, FcBool b); FcBool FcPatternAddFTFace(FcPattern *p, const char *object, const FT_Facef); FcBool FcPatternAddLangSet(FcPattern *p, const char *object, const FcLangSet *l ); Description These are all convenience functions that insert objects of the specified type into the pattern. Use these in preference to FcPatternAdd as they will provide compile-time typechecking. These all append values to any existing list of values. Version Fontconfig version 2.8.0 FcPatternGet Name FcPatternGet -- Return a value from a pattern Synopsis #include <fontconfig.h> FcResult FcPatternGet(FcPattern *p, const char *object, int id, FcValue *v); Description Returns in v the id'th value associated with the property object. The value returned is not a copy, but rather refers to the data stored within the pattern directly. Applications must not free this value. Version Fontconfig version 2.8.0 FcPatternGet-Type Name FcPatternGetInteger, FcPatternGetDouble, FcPatternGetString, FcPatternGetMatrix, FcPatternGetCharSet, FcPatternGetBool, FcPatternGetFTFace, FcPatternGetLangSet -- Return a typed value from a pattern Synopsis #include <fontconfig.h> FcResult FcPatternGetInteger(FcPattern *p, const char *object, int n, int *i); FcResult FcPatternGetDouble(FcPattern *p, const char *object, int n, double *d ); FcResult FcPatternGetString(FcPattern *p, const char *object, int n, FcChar8 ** s); FcResult FcPatternGetMatrix(FcPattern *p, const char *object, int n, FcMatrix **s); FcResult FcPatternGetCharSet(FcPattern *p, const char *object, int n, FcCharSet **c); FcResult FcPatternGetBool(FcPattern *p, const char *object, int n, FcBool *b); FcResult FcPatternGetFTFace(FcPattern *p, const char *object, int n); FcResult FcPatternGetLangSet(FcPattern *p, const char *object, FT_Face *f); Description These are convenience functions that call FcPatternGet and verify that the returned data is of the expected type. They return FcResultTypeMismatch if this is not the case. Note that these (like FcPatternGet) do not make a copy of any data structure referenced by the return value. Use these in preference to FcPatternGet to provide compile-time typechecking. Version Fontconfig version 2.8.0 FcPatternBuild Name FcPatternBuild, FcPatternVaBuild, FcPatternVapBuild -- Create patterns from arguments Synopsis #include <fontconfig.h> FcPattern * FcPatternBuild(FcPattern *pattern, ...); FcPattern * FcPatternVaBuild(FcPattern *pattern, va_list va); void FcPatternVapBuild(FcPattern *result, FcPattern *pattern, va_list va); Description Builds a pattern using a list of objects, types and values. Each value to be entered in the pattern is specified with three arguments: 1. Object name, a string describing the property to be added. 2. Object type, one of the FcType enumerated values 3. Value, not an FcValue, but the raw type as passed to any of the FcPatternAdd<type> functions. Must match the type of the second argument. The argument list is terminated by a null object name, no object type nor value need be passed for this. The values are added to `pattern', if `pattern' is null, a new pattern is created. In either case, the pattern is returned. Example pattern = FcPatternBuild (0, FC_FAMILY, FcTypeString, "Times", (char *) 0); FcPatternVaBuild is used when the arguments are already in the form of a varargs value. FcPatternVapBuild is a macro version of FcPatternVaBuild which returns its result directly in the result variable. Version Fontconfig version 2.8.0 FcPatternDel Name FcPatternDel -- Delete a property from a pattern Synopsis #include <fontconfig.h> FcBool FcPatternDel(FcPattern *p, const char *object); Description Deletes all values associated with the property `object', returning whether the property existed or not. Version Fontconfig version 2.8.0 FcPatternRemove Name FcPatternRemove -- Remove one object of the specified type from the pattern Synopsis #include <fontconfig.h> FcBool FcPatternRemove(FcPattern *p, const char *object, int id); Description Removes the value associated with the property `object' at position `id', returning whether the property existed and had a value at that position or not. Version Fontconfig version 2.8.0 FcPatternPrint Name FcPatternPrint -- Print a pattern for debugging Synopsis #include <fontconfig.h> void FcPatternPrint(const FcPattern *p); Description Prints an easily readable version of the pattern to stdout. There is no provision for reparsing data in this format, it's just for diagnostics and debugging. Version Fontconfig version 2.8.0 FcDefaultSubstitute Name FcDefaultSubstitute -- Perform default substitutions in a pattern Synopsis #include <fontconfig.h> void FcDefaultSubstitute(FcPattern *pattern); Description Supplies default values for underspecified font patterns: • Patterns without a specified style or weight are set to Medium • Patterns without a specified style or slant are set to Roman • Patterns without a specified pixel size are given one computed from any specified point size (default 12), dpi (default 75) and scale (default 1). Version Fontconfig version 2.8.0 FcNameParse Name FcNameParse -- Parse a pattern string Synopsis #include <fontconfig.h> FcPattern * FcNameParse(const FcChar8 *name); Description Converts name from the standard text format described above into a pattern. Version Fontconfig version 2.8.0 FcNameUnparse Name FcNameUnparse -- Convert a pattern back into a string that can be parsed Synopsis #include <fontconfig.h> FcChar8 * FcNameUnparse(FcPattern *pat); Description Converts the given pattern into the standard text format described above. The return value is not static, but instead refers to newly allocated memory which should be freed by the caller using free(). Version Fontconfig version 2.8.0 FcPatternFormat Name FcPatternFormat -- Format a pattern into a string according to a format specifier Synopsis #include <fontconfig.h> FcChar8 * FcPatternFormat(FcPattern *pat, const FcChar8 *format); Description Converts given pattern pat into text described by the format specifier format. The return value refers to newly allocated memory which should be freed by the caller using free(), or NULL if format is invalid. The format is loosely modelled after printf-style format string. The format string is composed of zero or more directives: ordinary characters (not "%"), which are copied unchanged to the output stream; and tags which are interpreted to construct text from the pattern in a variety of ways (explained below). Special characters can be escaped using backslash. C-string style special characters like \n and \r are also supported (this is useful when the format string is not a C string literal). It is advisable to always escape curly braces that are meant to be copied to the output as ordinary characters. Each tags is introduced by the character "%", followed by an optional minimum field width, followed by tag contents in curly braces ({}). If the minimum field width value is provided the tag will be expanded and the result padded to achieve the minimum width. If the minimum field width is positive, the padding will right-align the text. Negative field width will left-align. The rest of this section describes various supported tag contents and their expansion. A simple tag is one where the content is an identifier. When simple tags are expanded, the named identifier will be looked up in pattern and the resulting list of values returned, joined together using comma. For example, to print the family name and style the pattern, use the format "%{family} %{style}\n". To extend the family column to forty characters use "%-40{family}%{style}\n". Simple tags expand to list of all values for an element. To only choose one of the values, one can index using the syntax "%{elt[idx]}". For example, to get the first family name only, use "%{family[0]}". If a simple tag ends with "=" and the element is found in the pattern, the name of the element followed by "=" will be output before the list of values. For example, "%{weight=}" may expand to the string "weight=80". Or to the empty string if pattern does not have weight set. If a simple tag starts with ":" and the element is found in the pattern, ":" will be printed first. For example, combining this with the =, the format "% {:weight=}" may expand to ":weight=80" or to the empty string if pattern does not have weight set. If a simple tag contains the string ":-", the rest of the the tag contents will be used as a default string. The default string is output if the element is not found in the pattern. For example, the format "%{:weight=:-123}" may expand to ":weight=80" or to the string ":weight=123" if pattern does not have weight set. A count tag is one that starts with the character "#" followed by an element name, and expands to the number of values for the element in the pattern. For example, "%{#family}" expands to the number of family names pattern has set, which may be zero. A sub-expression tag is one that expands a sub-expression. The tag contents are the sub-expression to expand placed inside another set of curly braces. Sub-expression tags are useful for aligning an entire sub-expression, or to apply converters (explained later) on an entire sub-expression. For example, the format "%40{{%{family} %{style}}}" expands the sub-expression to construct the family name followed by the style, then takes the entire string and pads it on the left to be at least forty characters. A filter-out tag is one starting with the character "-" followed by a comma-separated list of element names, followed by a sub-expression enclosed in curly braces. The sub-expression will be expanded but with a pattern that has the listed elements removed from it. For example, the format "%{-size,pixelsize {sub-expr}}" will expand "sub-expr" with pattern sans the size and pixelsize elements. A filter-in tag is one starting with the character "+" followed by a comma-separated list of element names, followed by a sub-expression enclosed in curly braces. The sub-expression will be expanded but with a pattern that only has the listed elements from the surrounding pattern. For example, the format "%{+family,familylang{sub-expr}}" will expand "sub-expr" with a sub-pattern consisting only the family and family lang elements of pattern. A conditional tag is one starting with the character "?" followed by a comma-separated list of element conditions, followed by two sub-expression enclosed in curly braces. An element condition can be an element name, in which case it tests whether the element is defined in pattern, or the character "!" followed by an element name, in which case the test is negated. The conditional passes if all the element conditions pass. The tag expands the first sub-expression if the conditional passes, and expands the second sub-expression otherwise. For example, the format "%{?size,dpi,!pixelsize{pass}{fail}}" will expand to "pass" if pattern has size and dpi elements but no pixelsize element, and to "fail" otherwise. An enumerate tag is one starting with the string "[]" followed by a comma-separated list of element names, followed by a sub-expression enclosed in curly braces. The list of values for the named elements are walked in parallel and the sub-expression expanded each time with a pattern just having a single value for those elements, starting from the first value and continuing as long as any of those elements has a value. For example, the format "%{[] family,familylang{%{family} (%{familylang})\n}}" will expand the pattern "% {family} (%{familylang})\n" with a pattern having only the first value of the family and familylang elemtns, then expands it with the second values, then the third, etc. As a special case, if an enumerate tag has only one element, and that element has only one value in the pattern, and that value is of type FcLangSet, the individual languages in the language set are enumerated. A builtin tag is one starting with the character "=" followed by a builtin name. The following builtins are defined: unparse Expands to the result of calling FcNameUnparse() on the pattern. fcmatch Expands to the output of the default output format of the fc-match command on the pattern, without the final newline. fclist Expands to the output of the default output format of the fc-list command on the pattern, without the final newline. pkgkit Expands to the list of PackageKit font() tags for the pattern. Currently this includes tags for each family name, and each language from the pattern, enumerated and sanitized into a set of tags terminated by newline. Package management systems can use these tags to tag their packages accordingly. For example, the format "%{+family,style{%{=unparse}}}\n" will expand to an unparsed name containing only the family and style element values from pattern. The contents of any tag can be followed by a set of zero or more converters. A converter is specified by the character "|" followed by the converter name and arguments. The following converters are defined: basename Replaces text with the results of calling FcStrBasename() on it. dirname Replaces text with the results of calling FcStrDirname() on it. downcase Replaces text with the results of calling FcStrDowncase() on it. shescape Escapes text for one level of shell expansion. (Escapes single-quotes, also encloses text in single-quotes.) cescape Escapes text such that it can be used as part of a C string literal. (Escapes backslash and double-quotes.) xmlescape Escapes text such that it can be used in XML and HTML. (Escapes less-than, greater-than, and ampersand.) delete(chars) Deletes all occurrences of each of the characters in chars from the text. FIXME: This converter is not UTF-8 aware yet. escape(chars) Escapes all occurrences of each of the characters in chars by prepending it by the first character in chars. FIXME: This converter is not UTF-8 aware yet. translate(from,to) Translates all occurrences of each of the characters in from by replacing them with their corresponding character in to. If to has fewer characters than from, it will be extended by repeating its last character. FIXME: This converter is not UTF-8 aware yet. For example, the format "%{family|downcase|delete( )}\n" will expand to the values of the family element in pattern, lower-cased and with spaces removed.

If force is FcTrue, then the file is scanned even if associated information is found in cache. If file is a directory, it is added to dirs. Whether fonts are found depends on fontconfig policy as well as the current configuration. Internally, fontconfig will ignore BDF and PCF fonts which are not in Unicode (or the effectively equivalent ISO Latin-1) encoding as those are not usable by Unicode-based applications. The configuration can ignore fonts based on filename or contents of the font file itself. Returns FcFalse if any of the fonts cannot be added (due to allocation failure). Otherwise returns FcTrue.
