FcLangSetContains(3)

💅 FcLangSetContains(3) 💅

okay so this is a page from the fontconfig manual, and it's honestly a tiny little icon. it's all about checking whether one language set is a subset of another. short, sweet, slays.

---

✨ NAME ✨

FcLangSetContains — checks the langset subset relation 🫶 like is this whole vibe contained in that other vibe

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <fontconfig/fontconfig.h>

FcBool FcLangSetContains (const FcLangSet *ls_a, const FcLangSet *ls_b);

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay bestie, here's the tea ☕ — FcLangSetContains returns FcTrue if ls_a contains every single language in ls_b. every one. no stragglers, no leftovers, all of them accounted for 💯

so how does ls_a actually "contain" a language from ls_b? two ways, and they're both giving main character energy:

• ls_a has exactly that language — like, an exact match, no cap 🎯
• OR either the language or ls_a has no territory — so the territory situation is just... not a factor, and it still counts as contained 🌈

that's literally it. that's the whole check. short king of a function 👑

ngl it's giving "subset check but make it about language tags and territories" — remember, the match has to be exact OR territory-free. those are the only two doors in 🚪✨

🎀 a lil sign-off 🎀

this page is from Fontconfig 2.17.0, dated 27 June 2025 — so go forth and subset-check with confidence, bestie 💖 periodt.
