FcInitReinitialize(3)

💖 NAME 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the FcInitReinitialize(3) page — this one is all about FcInitReinitialize: re-initialize library. it’s giving “refresh the config era” energy, no cap 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <fontconfig/fontconfig.h>

FcBool FcInitReinitialize (void);

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So basically, FcInitReinitialize forces the default configuration file to be reloaded and resets the default configuration. literally the main character move for when you want the default setup to get its little reset moment ✨

If the configuration cannot be reloaded — because of configuration file errors, allocation failures or other issues — it returns FcFalse and leaves the existing configuration unchanged. so like, no chaotic side effects, bestie 💀

Otherwise, it returns FcTrue. slay 🫶
