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 configura-
tion. 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 ig-
nore fonts based on filename or contents of the font file itself. Re-
turns FcFalse if any of the fonts cannot be added (due to allocation
failure). Otherwise returns FcTrue.
