I was writing such a code but it doesn't work as expected: //construct a pattern pat=FcPatternCreate(); FcValue value; value.type=FcTypeString; value.u.s=_family.ascii(); FcPatternAdd(pat, FC_FAMILY, value, true); value.type=FcTypeInteger; value.u.i=_weight; FcPatternAdd(pat, FC_WEIGHT, value, true); value.type=FcTypeInteger; value.u.i=_slant; FcPatternAdd(pat, FC_SLANT, value, true); value.type=FcTypeDouble; value.u.d=_size; FcPatternAdd(pat, FC_SIZE, value, true); value.type=FcTypeDouble; value.u.d=_size; FcPatternAdd(pat, FC_PIXEL_SIZE, value, true); //check if constructed - ok FcValue* v; FcPatternGet(pat, FC_FAMILY, 0, v); cout<<"get family: "<<v->u.s<<endl; // (...) FcConfig* config=FcInitLoadConfig(); FcDefaultSubstitute(pat); FcConfigSubstitute(config, pat, FcMatchPattern); FcResult* result=new FcResult; font=FcFontMatch(config, pat, result); // and now result contains FcResultNoMatch - why? I tried to get Helvetica, Times, or Times New Roman - none of these worked. What's wrong with this code? Tomek
