FcFreeTypeQuery(3)

okay bestie, you found the FcFreeTypeQuery(3) manual page and we're gonna make it make sense 💅✨

🎀 NAME 🎀

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

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

FcPattern * FcFreeTypeQuery (const FcChar8 *file, int id, FcBlanks *blanks, int *count);

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

So this function constructs a pattern representing the idth face in file, periodt. The number of faces in file is returned in count — iconic, honestly.

⚠️ Heads up, bestie: FcBlanks is deprecated. blanks is ignored and accepted only for compatibility with older code. It's giving "legacy vibes only" 💀
