Hello everyone! I am the author of a piece of software called osgPango, which glues Pango and OpenSceneGraph together in order to use Pango's layout engine in OpenGL. This software is used in both Linux and Windows (about half and half, really), so some users are using the Freetype+Cairo backend to rasterize, and others are using the Win32+Cairo backend. However, I'm not entirely sure this information is relevant, though I include it anyways. :) My question is: using the Fontconfig API, is it possible to--in a generic way--find out what font file (or more likely "files", the Fontconfig API will probably want to work with sets of data)--corresponds to a particular Fontconfig string? For example, we love the expressively Pango provides when it allows us to use fonts in the form of: "Arial Bold 20px" However, a separate API requires the exact font "file" on disk instead, and so we'd like to continue using this expressive Pango/Fontconfig syntax in order to provide the REAL file to the older software. I'll continue browsing through the source for now, but if anyone has any advice to get me started, I'd really appreciate it! _______________________________________________ Fontconfig mailing list Fontconfig@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/fontconfig
