🌸 NAME 🌸

• FcInit — initialize fontconfig library

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <fontconfig/fontconfig.h>

FcBool FcInit (void);

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

okay so FcInit does the main-character setup: it loads the default configuration file and the fonts referenced therein, then sets the default configuration to that result. cute. it also returns whether this process succeeded or not, so u get the tea on whether it worked. 🫶

and if the default configuration has already been loaded? it literally does nothing and returns FcTrue. periodt. 💅
