PS_ADD_LIGATURE(3)

💖 PS_ADD_LIGATURE 💖

okay so bestie, this is a section 3 page from the Library Functions Manual — it's PS_add_ligature, and yes we're about to make letters hold hands. 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

PS_add_ligature — add a new ligature to a font, slay 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <pslib.h>

void PS_add_ligature(PSDoc *psdoc, int fontid, const char *glyphname1,
const char *glyphname2, const char *glyphname3)

like… three glyph names. three. it's giving a little trio, a lil friend group, and they're about to become ONE (1) ligature. iconic. ✨

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So what this does is add a new ligature to a font that's already loaded. Not a fresh font, not a baby font — an already-loaded one, okay? the font has to already be in the building. 👑

And listen, this function was mainly provided so you can add ligatures to Type3 fonts created with PS_begin_font(3) — that's its whole main character moment. But it's not exclusive, no gatekeeping here: you can also use it on fonts loaded with PS_findfont(3). so versatile, we love range. 🌈

ngl, PS_add_ligature has been around since version 0.4.0 of pslib. it's been doing this since 0.4.0, fr fr. vintage. a classic. 🎀
