fontconfig - Font configuration and customization library

<sect1><title>DESCRIPTION</title>
|
|
<para>
|
|
Fontconfig is a library designed to provide system-wide font configuration,
|
|
customization and application access.
|
|
</para>
|
|
</sect1>
|
|
<sect1><title>FUNCTIONAL OVERVIEW</title>
|
|
<para>
|
|
Fontconfig contains two essential modules, the configuration module which
|
|
builds an internal configuration from XML files and the matching module
|
|
which accepts font patterns and returns the nearest matching font.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<sect2><title>FONT CONFIGURATION</title>
|
|
<para>
|
|
The configuration module consists of the FcConfig datatype, libexpat and
|
|
FcConfigParse which walks over an XML tree and ammends a configuration with
|
|
data found within. 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.
|
|
</para><para>
|
|
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.
|
|
</para><para>
|
|
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.
|
|
</para>
|
|
</sect2>
|
|
<sect2>
|
|
<title>FONT PROPERTIES</title>
|
|
<para>
|
|
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.

<sect1><title>DATATYPES</title>

<para>

Fontconfig uses abstract datatypes to hide internal implementation details
|
|
for most data structures. A few structures are exposed where appropriate.
|

</para>
|
|
<sect2><title>FcChar8, FcChar16, FcChar32, FcBool</title>
|
|
<para>
|
|
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.

A small set of matrix operations are provided to manipulate these.

<title>FcPattern</title>
|
|
<para>
|
|
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.

|
|
</programlisting>
|
|
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.

<title>FcStrSet, FcStrList</title>
|
|
<para>
|
|
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.

Applications can add new object types so that font names may contain the new

<title>FcConfig</title>

<para>
|

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.
