I have arbitrary Unicode text, and I would like to match a reasonable font to use for displaying it. It's possible that I might need more than one font if, say, the text is a mixture of Latin characters and Asian ideographs.
I see that FC_CHARSET is an option to FcPattern. Does this sound like I'm on the right track:
A) Construct an FcCharset and add all unicode characters in the text to display
B) Add it as a FC_CHARSET value to an FcPattern. C) Use FcFontList() to search for the matching font.The developer reference contains the following statement: "Fontconfig uses some of these properties for font matching and font completion. Others are provided as a convenience for the application's rendering mechanism."
So, I guess I'm trying to clarify whether I can use the FC_CHARSET property to search for fonts that have coverage for my unicode text, or if this a non- searchable property, only.
