💖 mfont_set_selection_priority — the m17n Library glow-up 💖

okay bestie, sit down, hydrate, and let me tell you about a lil function from the m17n Library manual (that's section 3m17n if you're keeping score 🎀). it's giving "font vibes, but make it ranked" and honestly? obsessed.

✨ NAME ✨

mfont_set_selection_priority — that's the whole name, no extra crumbs 🌸

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

int mfont_set_selection_priority (MSymbol * keys)

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

so here's the tea, bestie: mfont_set_selection_priority() sets the font selection priority. like, it decides what actually matters when the library is out here choosing a font. main character energy for exactly one font attribute, and the rest of them are just supporting cast 💅

it does this based on keys, which is an array of six symbols. six. not five, not seven — six, periodt.

every single element in that array has to be one of these iconic lil guys:

  • Mfamily
  • Mweight
  • Mstyle
  • Mstretch
  • Madstyle
  • Msize

and listen — no two elements must be the same. like, don't be sending duplicates in here, that's not the vibe 🚫✨

ngl if you want the actual details of how the priority thing works, go read the documentation of mfont_selection_priority(). this one's just the setter, the other one is the one spilling the lore 🔥
