FcConfigSetCurrent(3)

💅 FcConfigSetCurrent(3) — the fontconfig bestie page

okay so this is FcConfigSetCurrent(3), straight out of the fontconfig manual, and it's literally about making one config the main character ✨

---

🌸 NAME

FcConfigSetCurrent — set configuration as default 🫶

---

✨ SYNOPSIS

#include <fontconfig/fontconfig.h>

FcBool FcConfigSetCurrent (FcConfig *config);

---

💖 DESCRIPTION

Sets the current default configuration to config. No cap, it just slides config into the default spot 👑

It implicitly calls FcConfigBuildFonts if necessary, and calls FcConfigReference() to inrease the reference count in config since 2.12.0, returning FcFalse if that call fails. That's the whole vibe check 😭

bestie, keep those details: FcConfigBuildFonts if necessary, FcConfigReference() for the reference count, 2.12.0, and FcFalse on failure. Periodt.
