Fontconfig.jl provides basic binding to fontconfig.
Pattern corresponds to the fontconfig type FcPattern. It respresents a set
of font properties used to match specific fonts.
It can be constructed in two ways. First with zero or more keyword arguments corresponding to fontconfig font properties.
config.Pattern(; args...)
For example
config.Pattern(family="Helvetica", size=10, hinting=true)
Secondly, it can be constructed with a fontconfig specifications string
config.Pattern(name::String)
For example
config.Pattern("Helvetica-10")
The primary functionality fontconfig provides is matching font patterns. In
Fontconfig.jl this is done with the match function, corresponding to FcMatch
in fontconfig.
h(pat::Pattern)
It takes a Pattern and return a Pattern corresponding to the nearest
matching installed font.
Extracting property values from a Pattern can be done with the format
function, which wraps FcPatternFormat.
at(pat::Pattern, fmt::String="%{=fclist}")
See man FcPatternFormat for the format string specification.
Fontconfig also provides a function list to enumerate all installed
fonts. Optionally, a Pattern can be provided to list just matching fonts. The
function will return a vector of Patterns
