FcFreeTypeCharSet(3)

💖 NAME 💖

FcFreeTypeCharSet — compute Unicode coverage

okay bestie, welcome to the FcFreeTypeCharSet(3) page ✨ this is the lil fontconfig function that does exactly what the name says: Unicode coverage, no cap.

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <fontconfig.h>
#include <fcfreetype.h>

FcCharSet * FcFreeTypeCharSet (FT_Face face, FcBlanks *blanks);

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So this function scans a FreeType face and returns the set of encoded Unicode chars it finds. That's the whole main-character job 💅

As for blanks? <pink>real talk</pink>: FcBlanks is deprecated. The blanks argument is ignored — like, genuinely not used — and it's only accepted for compatibility with older code. So don't stress about it, bestie 🫶

heads up: keep that deprecation in mind if you're reading old code — blanks is there for compatibility, not because it's doing anything ✨
