FcConfigAppFontAddFile(3)

🌸 NAME 🌸

FcConfigAppFontAddFile — add font file to font database, bestie 💅

Okay so this is the FcConfigAppFontAddFile(3) page from the fontconfig manuals, and it's literally about slipping an app-specific font into your config. Iconic. 🎀

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <fontconfig/fontconfig.h>

FcBool FcConfigAppFontAddFile (FcConfig *config, const FcChar8 *file);

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

Adds an application-specific font to the configuration. Slay 🫶

It returns FcFalse if the fonts cannot be added — and that's because of allocation failure or no fonts found, no cap 😭. Otherwise it returns FcTrue. Periodt.

If config is NULL, the current configuration is used. Simple as that, bestie 💜
