FcBool FcDirCacheAddStyle (const FcConfig *config, const FcChar8 *file, const unsigned int index, const FcChar8 *stylename, FcPattern *custom); The file is for the font file path, the index is for the font index if this font is TTC font, the stylename is for the custom style name. The FcPattern *custom will contains all the properties to be overridden. fontconfig can maintain a white list of allowed overridden properties, and initially it only allows style name and font variations. FcBool FcDirCacheRemoveStyle (const FcConfig *config, const FcChar8 *file, const unsigned int index, const FcChar8 *stylename); To remove the saved custom style name. Feel free to comment it.
