fcft is a small font loading and glyph rasterization library built
|
|
on-top of FontConfig, FreeType2 and pixman.
|
|
It can load and cache fonts from a fontconfig-formatted name string,
|
|
e.g. Monospace:size=12, optionally with user configured fallback fonts.
|
|
|
|
After a font has been loaded, you can rasterize glyphs. When doing so,
|
|
the primary font is first considered. If it does not have the requested
|
|
glyph, the user configured fallback fonts (if any) are considered.
|
|
If none of the user configured fallback fonts has the requested glyph,
|
|
the FontConfig generated list of fallback fonts are checked.
|
|
The API is documented as man pages.
|
|
Starting with 2.3.0, fcft gained the ability to do text shaping using
|
|
HarfBuzz (an optional dependency). Initially, only individual grapheme
|
|
clusters could be shaped. With 2.4.0, the ability to shape whole
|
|
text-runs were added. It should be noted however, that fcft does
|
|
not aim to compete with e.g. Pango, and that the text shaping support
|
|
may not be (and perhaps never will be) sufficient for “professional”
|
|
text layout.
|
|
|
|
if you have to rebuild the package delete /tmp/SBo/fcft directory.
