It's a usage error. Plus, returning 0 and no > fonts means "no fonts matched", where in fact the pattern was invalid. We should deal with "no fonts matched" and the kind of parser error differently IMHO though, I see what you mean. I think more detailed messages on the error may be required because there are no way to see what was wrong at this moment and should reflects to the return code with/without --quiet option too. -- Akira TAGOH _______________________________________________ Fontconfig mailing list Fontconfig@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/fontconfig
