💖 TTF_GetFontScript(3) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the SDL_ttf3 FUNCTIONS corner of the manual, this one's short and sweet and lowkey adorable 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

TTF_GetFontScript — get the script used for text shaping a font. that's it, that's the whole vibe 🦋

🌸 HEADER FILE 🌸

Defined in SDL3_ttf/SDL_ttf.h. yes you have to include it, no you can't skip it, periodt 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include "SDL3_ttf/SDL_ttf.h"

Uint32 TTF_GetFontScript(TTF_Font *font);

look at her. one function. one argument. absolutely iconic 👑

🫶 FUNCTION PARAMETERS 🫶

  • font — the font to query. like, the actual font you wanna know about. hand her over 💜

🌈 RETURN VALUE 🌈

She returns an ISO 15924 code — that's the fancy Unicode script-code thing, the one that lives here:

https://unicode.www:lenstrwww:splitstr:nwww:splitstr:r[char46]org/iso15924/iso15924-codes.www:lenstrwww:splitstr:nwww:splitstr:r[char46]html

or 0 if a script hasn't been set. so if you get 0 back, that's the "nobody set this yet bestie" signal, no cap 🙈

💀 THREAD SAFETY 💀

This function should be called on the thread that created the font. fr fr, don't go calling her from some random other thread, that's not the move 😭

⭐ AVAILABILITY ⭐

This function is available since SDL_ttf 3.0.0. so if you're on something older… girl. upgrade. it's giving ancient history 🧚
