Fontconfig has Unicode coverage information for each font; if the Unicode coverage is non-empty, then the font has some kind of mapping which can be used to map Unicode values to glyphs. Note that fontconfig supports a couple of non-Unicode mappings (Apple Roman and Symbol) so that older fonts without Unicode mapping tables can still be used by applications that use only Unicode values. FcCharSet *cs; if (FcPatternGetCharSet (pattern, FC_CHARSET, &cs) != FcResultMatch) cs = 0; if (!cs) return; This code fragment will extract the unicode coverage information for the specified font pattern; you can then use the various FcCharSet functions to examine that value. -keith
