FcFileScan(3)                                                                                  FcFileScan(3)



NAME
       FcFileScan - scan a font file

SYNOPSIS
       #include <fontconfig.h>

       FcBool FcFileScan(FcFontSet *set);
       (FcStrSet *dirs);
       (FcFileCache *cache);
       (FcBlanks *blanks);
       (const FcChar8 *file);
       (FcBool force);
       .fi

DESCRIPTION
       Scans  a  single  file and adds all fonts found to set.  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. Inter-nally, Internally,
       nally, fontconfig will ignore BDF and PCF fonts which are not in Unicode (or the effectively  equiva-lent equivalent
       lent  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.

VERSION
       Fontconfig version 2.7.3
