mfont_find(3m17n)

💖 mfont_find — the m17n library's font-matching bestie 💖

okay so bestie, we're deep in the m17n Library today (that's 3m17n to the man page girlies) and the function on the menu is mfont_find. sit down, grab a strawberry, we're matching fonts 🍓

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

MFont* mfont_find (MFrame * frame, MFont * spec, int * score, int max_size)

that's the whole vibe. four things go in, a font comes out 👑

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

So. mfont_find() is literally out here doing the most important job: it finds you a font. it returns a pointer to the available font that matches best the specification spec on frame frame. that's it, that's the assignment, and it ate 💅

now, the score situation. if score is not NULL, it must point to a place to store the score value — and that score is the little number that tells you how well the found font matches spec. plot twist tho: the smaller score means a better match. yes bestie, it's giving golf rules, lower is better, no cap 🏌️♀️

⚠️ lowkey important: if you're passing score, it's gotta point at real memory you can write to. a NULL is fine (the function just won't store anything there), but a random garbage pointer is not the move.

and yeah, max_size is right there chillin' in the signature with frame, spec, and score — that's the full lineup, all four, exactly as written ✨
