🌸 FcConfigSetDefaultSubstitute(3) — the glow-up page 🌸

okay so bestie, welcome to FcConfigSetDefaultSubstitute(3) 💅 this is a fontconfig function, and honestly? she's giving backstage stylist energy — she takes a pattern that showed up underdressed and hands it some default looks 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

FcConfigSetDefaultSubstitute — perform default substitutions in a pattern 🦋

like, she fills in the blanks. the vibes blanks. no cap ✨

---

🌈 SYNOPSIS 🌈

#include <fontconfig/fontconfig.h>

void FcConfigSetDefaultSubstitute (FcConfig *config, FcPattern *pattern);

two arguments, both pointers, returns nothing — she just does her thing and leaves 💅 periodt.

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so basically she supplies default values for underspecified font patterns 🫶 that's the whole assignment, and she ate. if your pattern is out here missing details, she quietly gives it the standard ones:

• 🎀 Patterns without a specified style or weight are set to Medium
• 🎀 Patterns without a specified style or slant are set to Roman
• 🎀 Patterns without a specified pixel size are given one computed from any specified point size (default 12), dpi (default 75) and scale (default 1).

bestie note: those numbers are the defaults — literally 12, 75, 1. memorize them or don't, but they're doing the heavy lifting when you don't specify anything yourself 🙈

⭐ SINCE ⭐

version 2.17.0 🌱 (yes she's a newer icon, we stan a modern queen 👑)
