NAME

       FcFileScan - scan a font file

SYNOPSIS

       #include <fontconfig/fontconfig.h>

       FcBool  FcFileScan  (FcFontSet  *set, FcStrSet *dirs, FcFileCache *cache, FcBlanks *blanks, const FcChar8
       *file, FcBool force);

DESCRIPTION

       Scans a single file and adds all fonts found to set.  If force is FcTrue, then the file is  scanned  even
       if  associated information is found in cache.  If file is a directory, it is added to dirs. Whether fonts
       are found depends on fontconfig policy as well as the current configuration. Internally, fontconfig  will
       ignore BDF and PCF fonts which are not in Unicode (or the effectively equivalent ISO Latin-1) encoding as
       those are not usable by Unicode-based applications. The configuration can ignore fonts based on  filename
       or  contents  of  the  font  file  itself.  Returns  FcFalse  if any of the fonts cannot be added (due to
       allocation failure). Otherwise returns FcTrue.
