✨ NAME ✨

mflt_run — bestie this one's just vibes, the manpage literally gives us no one-liner so we move 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

int mflt_run (MFLTGlyphString * gstring, int from, int to, MFLTFont *
font, MFLT * flt)

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Okay so mflt_run() lays out characters with an FLT. It takes the characters hanging out in gstring between from (inclusive, so from is invited to the party) and to (exclusive, so to is not invited, sorry babe 🫶) and lays them out using font.

If flt is nonzero, that one is used for all the characters — no switching, no drama, one FLT for the whole squad. If flt is zero, then appropriate FLTs get automatically chosen for you. Set it and forget it energy. ✨

🎀 Return values

  • >=0 — slay, it worked! The value is the index to the glyph that was previously indexed by to, over in gstring->glyphs.
  • -2 — uh oh, gstring->glyphs is too short to store the result 😭. The good news? The caller can just call this function again with a longer gstring->glyphs. Glow-up and retry, periodt.
  • -1 — some other error occurred 💀.
