NAME
FcFileScan - scan a font file
SYNOPSIS
#include <fontconfig/fontconfig.h>
FcBool FcFileScan (FcFontSet *set, FcStrSet *dirs, FcFileCache *cache,
FcBlanks *blanks, const FcChar8 *file, FcBool force);
DESCRIPTION
Scans a single file and adds all fonts found to set. If force is Fc-
True, 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 configu-
ration. 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.
