✨ mfont_put_prop — the m17n Library, manual section 3m17n ✨

okay bestie, gather round, we're doing font properties today 💖

🎀 NAME 🎀

mfont_put_prop — (yeah, the original NAME section is literally just the name and a lil dash, no cap, that's the whole thing 🙈)

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

int mfont_put_prop (MFont * font, MSymbol key, void * val)

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

So the vibe is: you're putting a property value onto a font. That's it, that's the function. 🌸

The mfont_put_prop() function puts a font property whose key is key and value is val to font font.

Now — and this is the part you cannot freestyle — key must be one of the following symbols:

  • Mfoundry
  • Mfamily
  • Mweight
  • Mstyle
  • Mstretch
  • Madstyle
  • Mregistry
  • Msize
  • Mresolution

That's the whole list. Nine icons. No extras, no substitutions, no "but what about…" 👑

Then, the type check that keeps us all safe:

  • If key is Msize or Mresolution, then val must be an integer. Periodt. 🔢
  • Otherwise, val must be a symbol of a property value name.
⚠️ And here's the lil gotcha that will absolutely humble you if you forget it: if the name is 'nil', you must specify a symbol of name 'Nil'. Yes bestie, capital N. Not 'nil'. 'Nil'. The lowercase one is NOT it, iykyk 😭💀
