DESCRIPTION

       Fontconfig is a library designed to provide system-wide font configuration, customization and application
       access.

FUNCTIONAL OVERVIEW

       Fontconfig  contains  two  essential  modules,  the  configuration  module  which  builds   an   internal
       configuration  from XML files and the matching module which accepts font patterns and returns the nearest
       matching font.

   FONT CONFIGURATION
       The configuration module consists of the FcConfig datatype, libexpat and FcConfigParse which  walks  over
       an  XML  tree  and  amends  a  configuration  with  data  found  within.  From  an  external perspective,
       configuration of the library consists of generating a valid XML tree and feeding that  to  FcConfigParse.
       The  only other mechanism provided to applications for changing the running configuration is to add fonts
       and directories to the list of application-provided font files.

       The intent is to make font configurations relatively static,  and  shared  by  as  many  applications  as
       possible.  It  is  hoped  that  this  will lead to more stable font selection when passing names from one
       application to another.  XML was chosen as a configuration file format because it provides a format which
       is easy for external agents to edit while retaining the correct structure and syntax.

       Font  configuration  is  separate  from  font matching; applications needing to do their own matching can
       access the available fonts from the library and  perform  private  matching.  The  intent  is  to  permit
       applications  to  pick  and  choose appropriate functionality from the library instead of forcing them to
       choose between this library and a private configuration mechanism. The hope is that this will ensure that
       configuration  of  fonts  for  all  applications  can  be  centralized  in  one  place. Centralizing font
       configuration will simplify and regularize font installation and customization.

   FONT PROPERTIES
       While font patterns may contain essentially any properties, there are some  well  known  properties  with
       associated  types. Fontconfig uses some of these properties for font matching and font completion. Others
       are provided as a convenience for the applications' rendering mechanism.

   FONT MATCHING
       Fontconfig performs matching by measuring the distance from a provided pattern to all  of  the  available
       fonts  in  the  system.  The  closest  matching font is selected. This ensures that a font will always be
       returned, but doesn't ensure that it is anything like the requested pattern.

       Font matching starts with an application constructed pattern. The desired  attributes  of  the  resulting
       font  are  collected  together in a pattern. Each property of the pattern can contain one or more values;
       these are listed in priority order; matches earlier in the list  are  considered  "closer"  than  matches
       later in the list.

       The  initial  pattern is modified by applying the list of editing instructions specific to patterns found
       in the configuration; each consists of a match predicate and  a  set  of  editing  operations.  They  are
       executed  in  the  order they appeared in the configuration. Each match causes the associated sequence of
       editing operations to be applied.

       After the pattern has been edited, a sequence of default substitutions are performed to canonicalize  the
       set  of  available  properties;  this  avoids the need for the lower layers to constantly provide default
       values for various font properties during rendering.

       The canonical font pattern is finally matched against all available fonts.  The distance from the pattern
       to  the  font  is  measured  for  each  of  several  properties: foundry, charset, family, lang, spacing,
       pixelsize, style, slant, weight, antialias, rasterizer and outline. This list is  in  priority  order  --
       results of comparing earlier elements of this list weigh more heavily than later elements.

       There is one special case to this rule; family names are split into two bindings; strong and weak. Strong
       family names are given greater precedence in the match than lang elements while  weak  family  names  are
       given  lower  precedence  than  lang elements. This permits the document language to drive font selection
       when any document specified font is unavailable.

       The pattern representing that font is augmented to include any properties found in the  pattern  but  not
       found  in  the font itself; this permits the application to pass rendering instructions or any other data
       through the matching system. Finally, the list of editing instructions specific to  fonts  found  in  the
       configuration are applied to the pattern. This modified pattern is returned to the application.

       The  return  value  contains  sufficient information to locate and rasterize the font, including the file
       name, pixel size and other rendering data. As none of the information involved pertains to  the  FreeType
       library,  applications  are free to use any rasterization engine or even to take the identified font file
       and access it directly.

       The match/edit sequences in the configuration are performed in two passes because there  are  essentially
       two  different  operations  necessary -- the first is to modify how fonts are selected; aliasing families
       and adding suitable defaults. The second is to modify how the selected fonts are rasterized.  Those  must
       apply to the selected font, not the original pattern as false matches will often occur.

   FONT NAMES
       Fontconfig  provides a textual representation for patterns that the library can both accept and generate.
       The representation is in three parts, first a list of family names, second a  list  of  point  sizes  and
       finally a list of additional properties:

            <families>-<point sizes>:<name1>=<values1>:<name2>=<values2>...

       Values in a list are separated with commas. The name needn't include either families or point sizes; they
       can be elided. In addition, there are symbolic constants that simultaneously indicate both a name  and  a
       value.  Here are some examples:

         Name                            Meaning
         ----------------------------------------------------------
         Times-12                        12 point Times Roman
         Times-12:bold                   12 point Times Bold
         Courier:italic                  Courier Italic in the default size
         Monospace:matrix=1 .1 0 1       The users preferred monospace font
                                         with artificial obliquing

       The  '\', '-', ':' and ',' characters in family names must be preceded by a '\' character to avoid having
       them misinterpreted. Similarly, values containing '\', '=', '_', ':' and ',' must also have them preceded
       by a '\' character. The '\' characters are stripped out of the family name and values as the font name is
       read.

DEBUGGING APPLICATIONS

       To help diagnose font and applications problems, fontconfig is built with  a  large  amount  of  internal
       debugging left enabled. It is controlled by means of the FC_DEBUG environment variable. The value of this
       variable is interpreted as a number,  and  each  bit  within  that  value  controls  different  debugging
       messages.

         Name         Value    Meaning
         ---------------------------------------------------------
         MATCH            1    Brief information about font matching
         MATCHV           2    Extensive font matching information
         EDIT             4    Monitor match/test/edit execution
         FONTSET          8    Track loading of font information at startup
         CACHE           16    Watch cache files being written
         CACHEV          32    Extensive cache file writing information
         PARSE           64    (no longer in use)
         SCAN           128    Watch font files being scanned to build caches
         SCANV          256    Verbose font file scanning information
         MEMORY         512    Monitor fontconfig memory usage
         CONFIG        1024    Monitor which config files are loaded
         LANGSET       2048    Dump char sets used to construct lang values
         OBJTYPES      4096    Display message when value typechecks fail

       Add  the  value  of  the  desired  debug  levels  together  and  assign that (in base 10) to the FC_DEBUG
       environment variable before running the application. Output from these statements is sent to stdout.

LANG TAGS

       Each font in the database contains a list of languages it supports. This is  computed  by  comparing  the
       Unicode  coverage  of  the  font  with  the  orthography  of each language. Languages are tagged using an
       RFC-3066 compatible naming and occur in two parts -- the ISO 639 language tag followed a hyphen and  then
       by the ISO 3166 country code. The hyphen and country code may be elided.

       Fontconfig  has  orthographies  for several languages built into the library.  No provision has been made
       for adding new ones aside from rebuilding the library. It currently supports 122  of  the  139  languages
       named  in  ISO  639-1, 141 of the languages with two-letter codes from ISO 639-2 and another 30 languages
       with only three-letter codes. Languages with both two and three letter codes are provided with  only  the
       two letter code.

       For  languages  used in multiple territories with radically different character sets, fontconfig includes
       per-territory orthographies. This includes Azerbaijani, Kurdish, Pashto, Tigrinya and Chinese.

CONFIGURATION FILE FORMAT

       Configuration files for fontconfig are stored in XML format; this  format  makes  external  configuration
       tools  easier  to write and ensures that they will generate syntactically correct configuration files. As
       XML files are plain text, they can also be manipulated by the expert user using a text editor.

       The fontconfig document type definition resides in the external  entity  "fonts.dtd";  this  is  normally
       stored  in  the default font configuration directory (/etc/fonts). Each configuration file should contain
       the following structure:

            <?xml version="1.0"?>
            <!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd">
            <fontconfig>
       ...
            </fontconfig>

   <FONTCONFIG>
       This is the top level element for a font configuration and  can  contain  <dir>,  <cachedir>,  <include>,
       <match> and <alias> elements in any order.

   <DIR PREFIX="DEFAULT">
       This  element  contains  a  directory  name which will be scanned for font files to include in the set of
       available fonts. If 'prefix' is set to "xdg", the value in the XDG_DATA_HOME environment variable will be
       added as the path prefix. please see XDG Base Directory Specification for more details.

   <CACHEDIR PREFIX="DEFAULT">
       This  element  contains  a  directory  name  that  is  supposed  to  be  stored or read the cache of font
       information. If multiple elements are specified in the configuration file,  the  directory  that  can  be
       accessed  first  in the list will be used to store the cache files. If it starts with '~', it refers to a
       directory in the users home directory. If 'prefix' is set to  "xdg",  the  value  in  the  XDG_CACHE_HOME
       environment  variable  will  be added as the path prefix. please see XDG Base Directory Specification for
       more details.  The default directory is ``$XDG_CACHE_HOME/fontconfig'' and it contains  the  cache  files
       named  ``<hash  value>-<architecture>.cache-<version>'',  where  <version> is the font configuration file
       version number (currently 5).

   <INCLUDE IGNORE_MISSING="NO" PREFIX="DEFAULT">
       This element contains the name of an additional configuration file or directory. If  a  directory,  every
       file  within  that  directory  starting  with an ASCII digit (U+0030 - U+0039) and ending with the string
       ``.conf'' will be processed in sorted order. When the XML datatype is  traversed  by  FcConfigParse,  the
       contents  of  the  file(s) will also be incorporated into the configuration by passing the filename(s) to
       FcConfigLoadAndParse. If 'ignore_missing' is set to "yes" instead of the default "no", a missing file  or
       directory  will elicit no warning message from the library. If 'prefix' is set to "xdg", the value in the
       XDG_CONFIG_HOME environment variable will be added as the path prefix.  please  see  XDG  Base  Directory
       Specification for more details.

   <CONFIG>
       This  element  provides a place to consolidate additional configuration information. <config> can contain
       <blank> and <rescan> elements in any order.

   <BLANK>
       Fonts often include "broken" glyphs which appear in the encoding but are drawn as blanks on  the  screen.
       Within  the  <blank>  element,  place  each  Unicode characters which is supposed to be blank in an <int>
       element.  Characters outside of this set which are drawn  as  blank  will  be  elided  from  the  set  of
       characters supported by the font.

   <RESCAN>
       The <rescan> element holds an <int> element which indicates the default interval between automatic checks
       for font configuration changes.  Fontconfig will validate all of the configuration files and  directories
       and automatically rebuild the internal datastructures when this interval passes.

   <SELECTFONT>
       This  element is used to black/white list fonts from being listed or matched against. It holds acceptfont
       and rejectfont elements.

   <ACCEPTFONT>
       Fonts matched by an acceptfont element are "whitelisted"; such fonts are explicitly included in  the  set
       of  fonts  used  to resolve list and match requests; including them in this list protects them from being
       "blacklisted" by a rejectfont element. Acceptfont elements include glob and pattern  elements  which  are
       used to match fonts.

   <REJECTFONT>
       Fonts  matched  by an rejectfont element are "blacklisted"; such fonts are excluded from the set of fonts
       used to resolve list and match requests as if they  didn't  exist  in  the  system.  Rejectfont  elements
       include glob and pattern elements which are used to match fonts.

   <GLOB>
       Glob  elements hold shell-style filename matching patterns (including ? and *) which match fonts based on
       their complete pathnames. This can be used to exclude a set of directories  (/usr/share/fonts/uglyfont*),
       or  particular  font  file types (*.pcf.gz), but the latter mechanism relies rather heavily on filenaming
       conventions which can't be relied upon. Note that globs only apply  to  directories,  not  to  individual
       fonts.

   <PATTERN>
       Pattern elements perform list-style matching on incoming fonts; that is, they hold a list of elements and
       associated values. If all of those elements have a matching value, then the  pattern  matches  the  font.
       This  can  be used to select fonts based on attributes of the font (scalable, bold, etc), which is a more
       reliable mechanism than using file extensions.  Pattern elements include patelt elements.

   <PATELT NAME="PROPERTY">
       Patelt elements hold a single pattern element and list of values. They must have a 'name' attribute which
       indicates  the  pattern  element name. Patelt elements include int, double, string, matrix, bool, charset
       and const elements.

   <MATCH TARGET="PATTERN">
       This element holds first a (possibly empty) list of <test> elements and then a (possibly empty)  list  of
       <edit> elements. Patterns which match all of the tests are subjected to all the edits. If 'target' is set
       to "font" instead of the default "pattern", then this element applies to the font name resulting  from  a
       match  rather  than a font pattern to be matched. If 'target' is set to "scan", then this element applies
       when the font is scanned to build the fontconfig database.

   <TEST QUAL="ANY" NAME="PROPERTY" TARGET="DEFAULT" COMPARE="EQ">
       This element contains a single value which is compared with the  target  ('pattern',  'font',  'scan'  or
       'default') property "property" (substitute any of the property names seen above). 'compare' can be one of
       "eq", "not_eq", "less", "less_eq", "more", "more_eq", "contains" or "not_contains". 'qual' may either  be
       the  default,  "any",  in which case the match succeeds if any value associated with the property matches
       the test value, or "all", in which case all of the values associated with the  property  must  match  the
       test  value.  'ignore-blanks'  takes a boolean value. if 'ignore-blanks' is set "true", any blanks in the
       string will be ignored on its comparison. this takes effects only when compare="eq" or  compare="not_eq".
       When used in a <match target="font"> element, the target= attribute in the <test> element selects between
       matching the original pattern or the font. "default" selects whichever target the outer  <match>  element
       has selected.

   <EDIT NAME="PROPERTY" MODE="ASSIGN" BINDING="WEAK">
       This  element  contains  a  list  of  expression  elements  (any  of the value or operator elements). The
       expression elements are evaluated at run-time  and  modify  the  property  "property".  The  modification
       depends  on  whether  "property"  was  matched  by  one  of  the  associated  <test> elements, if so, the
       modification may affect the first matched value. Any values inserted into  the  property  are  given  the
       indicated  binding  ("strong",  "weak"  or  "same")  with "same" binding using the value from the matched
       pattern element.  'mode' is one of:

         Mode                    With Match              Without Match
         ---------------------------------------------------------------------
         "assign"                Replace matching value  Replace all values
         "assign_replace"        Replace all values      Replace all values
         "prepend"               Insert before matching  Insert at head of list
         "prepend_first"         Insert at head of list  Insert at head of list
         "append"                Append after matching   Append at end of list
         "append_last"           Append at end of list   Append at end of list
         "delete"                Delete matching value   Delete all values
         "delete_all"            Delete all values       Delete all values

   <INT>, <DOUBLE>, <STRING>, <BOOL>
       These elements hold a single value of the indicated type. <bool> elements hold either true or  false.  An
       important  limitation  exists  in  the  parsing of floating point numbers -- fontconfig requires that the
       mantissa start with a digit, not a decimal point, so insert a leading zero for purely  fractional  values
       (e.g. use 0.5 instead of .5 and -0.5 instead of -.5).

   <MATRIX>
       This  element holds four numerical expressions of an affine transformation.  At their simplest these will
       be four <double> elements but they can also be more involved expressions.

   <RANGE>
       This element holds the two <int> elements of a range representation.

   <CHARSET>
       This element holds at least one <int> element of an Unicode code point or more.

   <LANGSET>
       This element holds at least one <string> element of a RFC-3066-style languages or more.

   <NAME>
       Holds a property name. Evaluates to the first value from the property of the  pattern.  If  the  'target'
       attribute  is  not present, it will default to 'default', in which case the property is returned from the
       font pattern during a target="font" match, and to  the  pattern  during  a  target="pattern"  match.  The
       attribute  can  also take the values 'font' or 'pattern' to explicitly choose which pattern to use. It is
       an error to use a target of 'font' in a match that has target="pattern".

   <CONST>
       Holds the name of a constant; these are always integers and serve  as  symbolic  names  for  common  font
       values:

         Constant        Property        Value

   <OR>, <AND>, <PLUS>, <MINUS>, <TIMES>, <DIVIDE>
       These  elements  perform  the  specified  operation  on a list of expression elements. <or> and <and> are
       boolean, not bitwise.

   <EQ>, <NOT_EQ>, <LESS>, <LESS_EQ>, <MORE>, <MORE_EQ>, <CONTAINS>, <NOT_CONTAINS
       These elements compare two values, producing a boolean result.

   <NOT>
       Inverts the boolean sense of its one expression element

   <IF>
       This element takes three expression elements; if the value of the first is true, it produces the value of
       the second, otherwise it produces the value of the third.

   <ALIAS>
       Alias  elements  provide a shorthand notation for the set of common match operations needed to substitute
       one font family for another. They contain a <family> element followed by optional <prefer>, <accept>  and
       <default>  elements.  Fonts  matching  the  <family> element are edited to prepend the list of <prefer>ed
       families before the matching <family>, append the <accept>able families after the matching  <family>  and
       append the <default> families to the end of the family list.

   <FAMILY>
       Holds a single font family name

   <PREFER>, <ACCEPT>, <DEFAULT>
       These hold a list of <family> elements to be used by the <alias> element.

FILES

       fonts.conf  contains  configuration  information  for the fontconfig library consisting of directories to
       look at for font information as well as instructions on editing program specified  font  patterns  before
       attempting to match the available fonts. It is in XML format.

       conf.d  is  the  conventional  name for a directory of additional configuration files managed by external
       applications or the local administrator. The  filenames  starting  with  decimal  digits  are  sorted  in
       lexicographic order and used as additional configuration files. All of these files are in XML format. The
       master fonts.conf file references this directory in an <include> directive.

       fonts.dtd is a DTD that describes the format of the configuration files.

       $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/fontconfig/conf.d and ~/.fonts.conf.d is the conventional name for a per-user  directory
       of  (typically  auto-generated)  configuration  files,  although  the actual location is specified in the
       global fonts.conf file. please note that ~/.fonts.conf.d is deprecated  now.  it  will  not  be  read  by
       default in the future version.

       $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/fontconfig/fonts.conf  and  ~/.fonts.conf is the conventional location for per-user font
       configuration, although the actual location is specified in the global fonts.conf file. please note  that
       ~/.fonts.conf is deprecated now. it will not be read by default in the future version.

       $XDG_CACHE_HOME/fontconfig/*.cache-*  and  ~/.fontconfig/*.cache-* is the conventional repository of font
       information that isn't found in the per-directory  caches.  This  file  is  automatically  maintained  by
       fontconfig. please note that ~/.fontconfig/*.cache-* is deprecated now. it will not be read by default in
       the future version.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

       FONTCONFIG_FILE is used to override the default configuration file.

       FONTCONFIG_PATH is used to override the default configuration directory.

       FC_DEBUG is used to output the detailed debugging messages. see Debugging Applications section  for  more
       details.

       FONTCONFIG_USE_MMAP  is  used to control the use of mmap(2) for the cache files if available. this take a
       boolean value. fontconfig will checks if the cache files are stored on the filesystem that is safe to use
       mmap(2).  explicitly setting this environment variable will causes skipping this check and enforce to use
       or not use mmap(2) anyway.
