m17nFontset(3m17n)

💖 m17nFontset 💖

okay bestie, gather round, because we're talking about the m17n Library page for m17nFontset(3m17n) — yes the manual name is literally m17nFontset(3m17n), that's the whole vibe. And the NAME? The NAME got absolutely mangled in the wash: it's listed as m17nFontset_-_Fon (💀 the truncation is real, no one fixed it, we respect the chaos) and the actual definition is this:

A fontset is an object that maps a character to fonts.

that's it. that's the whole thing. a character → a font. matchmaker behavior, honestly. 💅

🌸 Detailed Description 🌸

okay so, a fontset? it's an object of the type MFontset. and when you're drawing an M-text, the fontset is the one running the show — it hands over the rules for picking a font for each individual character in that M-text. like a tiny casting director for glyphs. 👑

and it makes those casting decisions based on the following info, bestie:

• The script character property of a character.
• The language text property of a character.
• The charset text property of a character.

and if you wanna know exactly how all that info gets used? the documentation of mdraw_text() is where that lore lives. go read it. 📖
