Having found a FreeType font, Fontconfig provides the call FcFreeTypeQueryFace, which will construct a very elaborate pattern that, I assumed, would match exactly that font again. However, it never seemed to work: trying to use that pattern to search for fonts would always fail with no matches. I figured out that the problem seems to come from the inclusion of the “lang” and “charset” criteria in the returned pattern: the values for these tend to consist of long lists of items separated by “|” characters. But remove them, and the resulting pattern will correctly find the font again. _______________________________________________ Fontconfig mailing list Fontconfig@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/fontconfig
