SUPERSEDES APPROVE COMMIT general-docs
With Norbert's OK. Fire when ready, Norbert!
Sorry about this big superseding patch, but I applied a bunch of
patches to the work space and then realized I'd never committed the
original.

+@c DESCRIPTION
+Fontconfig is a library designed to provide system-wide font
+configuration, customization and application access.
+
+This manual describes fontconfig version 1.0.2.
+
+@c 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.
+

+
+@node Font Configuration, Font Properties, Overview, Overview
+@section 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 make
+simplify and regularize font installation and customization.
+
+@node Font Properties, Font Matching, Font Configuration, Overview
+@section 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. Some symbolic
+constants are provided for common values or enumerated types.
+@xref{Constants}, for the list of standard properties and values.
+
+
+@node Font Matching, Font List Matching, Font Properties, Overview
+@section 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 an FcPattern
+object. 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.
+
+@node Font List Matching, Font Names, Font Matching, Overview
+@section Font List Matching
+
+While many applications want to locate a single font best matching their
+search criteria, other applications need to build a set of fonts which can
+be used to present any Unicode data. Fontconfig provides an API to generate
+a list sorted by the nearness of each font to the pattern. Every font in
+the system is considered, the best matching fonts are placed first. The
+application then can select whether the remaining fonts are unconditionally
+included in the list, or whether they are included only if they cover
+portions of Unicode not covered by any of the preceeding fonts.
+
+The list resulting from this match is represented by references to the
+original font patterns and so consumes very little memory. Using a list
+entry involves creating a pattern which combines the information from the
+font with the information from the original pattern and executing the font
+substitutions.
+
+@node Font Names, LANG Tags, Font List Matching, Overview
+@section 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:
+
+@example
+ <families>-<point
sizes>:<name1>=<values1>:<name2>=<values2>...
+@end example
+
+Values in a list are separated with commas. A hyphen or comma in a family
+name must be escaped with a backslash. The name needn't include either
+families or point sizes; they can be elided. If the family name only is
+given, the hyphen may be omitted. If there are no additional properties,
+no trailing colon should be used. In addition, there are
+symbolic constants that simultaneously indicate both a name and a value.
+Here are some examples:
+
+@example
+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
+Mikachan\-PB-16 12 point Mikachan-PB
+@end example
+
+@node LANG Tags, , Font Names, Overview
+@section 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 ISO639 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.

+While fontconfig is designed to be extensible, it provides a comprehensive
+set of standard properties and values for fonts.
+
+The following table gives the list of standard font properties. The property
+name is represented as a string. In C code a C preprocessor symbol may be
+used to help with typo detection.
+

+@end example
+
+C code can check the fontconfig version number with the numerical
+preprocessor constants @code{FC_MAJOR}, @code{FC_MINOR}, and
+@code{FC_REVISION}, or use the combined constant @code{FC_VERSION}, defined
+as @code{FC_MAJOR*10000 + FC_MINOR*100 + FC_REVISION}.
+
+The cache version (format of @file{font.cache-1}?) is given by
+@code{FC_CACHE_VERSION}, and is a string, not an integer. The cache file
+names are defined as @code{FC_DIR_CACHE_FILE} and @code{FC_USER_CACHE_FILE}.
+
+The Boolean constants are @code{FcFalse} (0) and @code{FcTrue} (1).
+
+Properties used to control the rasterizer, their preprocessor constants, and
+their types, include:
+
+@example
+charwidth FC_CHAR_WIDTH Int
+charheight FC_CHAR_HEIGHT Int
+matrix FC_MATRIX FcMatrix
+@end example
+
+Preprocessor constants are defined for common standard font weights. All are
+Ints.
+
+@example
+FC_WEIGHT_LIGHT 0
+FC_WEIGHT_MEDIUM 100
+FC_WEIGHT_DEMIBOLD 180
+FC_WEIGHT_BOLD 200
+FC_WEIGHT_BLACK 210
+@end example
+
+Preprocessor constants are defined for common standard slants. All are Ints.
+
+@example
+FC_SLANT_ROMAN 0
+FC_SLANT_ITALIC 100
+FC_SLANT_OBLIQUE 110
+@end example
+
+Preprocessor constants are defined for the three spacing types. All are
+Ints, but should be treated as symbolic constants.
+
+@example
+FC_PROPORTIONAL 0
+FC_MONO 100
+FC_CHARCELL 110
+@end example
+
+Preprocessor constants are defined for the subpixel orders. All are
+Ints, but should be treated as symbolic constants.
+

+@section Data Types
+
+@table @samp
+@item FcChar8
+@itemx FcChar16
+@itemx FcChar32
+@itemx FcBool
+These are primitive data types; the FcChar* types hold precisely the number
+of bits stated (if supported by the C implementation). FcBool holds
+one of two CPP symbols: FcFalse or FcTrue.
+
+@item FcMatrix
+An FcMatrix holds an affine transformation, usually used to reshape glyphs.
+A small set of matrix operations are provided to manipulate these.
+
+@example
+ typedef struct _FcMatrix @{
+ double xx, xy, yx, yy;
+ @} FcMatrix;
+@end example
+
+@item FcCharSet
+An FcCharSet is an abstract type that holds the set of encoded unicode chars
+in a font. Operations to build and compare these sets are provided.
+
+@item FcType
+Tags the kind of data stored in an FcValue.
+
+@item FcValue
+An FcValue object holds a single value with one of a number of different
+types. The 'type' tag indicates which member is valid.
+
+@example
+ typedef struct _FcValue @{
+ FcType type;
+ union @{
+ const FcChar8 *s;
+ int i;
+ FcBool b;
+ double d;
+ const FcMatrix *m;
+ const FcCharSet *c;
+ void *f;
+ const FcPattern *p;
+ const FcLangSet *l;
+ @} u;
+ @} FcValue;
+@end example
+
+@example
+ type Union member Datatype
+
+ FcTypeVoid (none) (none)
+ FcTypeInteger i int
+ FcTypeDouble d double
+ FcTypeString s TcChar8 *
+ FcTypeBool b b
+ FcTypeMatrix m FcMatrix *
+ FcTypeCharSet c FcCharSet *
+ FcTypeFTFace f void *
+ p FcPattern *
+ FcTypeLangSet l FcLangSet *
+@end example
+
+@item FcPattern
+holds a set of names with associated value lists; each name refers to a
+property of a font. FcPatterns are used as inputs to the matching code as
+well as holding information about specific fonts. Each property can hold
+one or more values; conventionally all of the same type, although the
+interface doesn't demand that.
+
+@item FcFontSet
+
+@example
+ typedef struct _FcFontSet @{
+ int nfont;
+ int sfont;
+ FcPattern **fonts;
+ @} FcFontSet;
+@end example
+
+An FcFontSet contains a list of FcPatterns. Internally fontconfig uses this
+data structure to hold sets of fonts. Externally, fontconfig returns the
+results of listing fonts in this format. 'nfont' holds the number of
+patterns in the 'fonts' array; 'sfont' is used to indicate the size of
that
+array.
+
+@item FcStrSet
+@itemx FcStrList
+FcStrSet holds a list of strings that can be appended to and enumerated.
+Its unique characteristic is that the enumeration works even while strings
+are appended during enumeration. FcStrList is used during enumeration to
+safely and correctly walk the list of strings even while that list is edited
+in the middle of enumeration.
+
+@item FcObjectSet
+
+@example
+ typedef struct _FcObjectSet @{
+ int nobject;
+ int sobject;
+ const char **objects;
+ @} FcObjectSet;
+@end example
+holds a set of names and is used to specify which fields from fonts are
+placed in the the list of returned patterns when listing fonts.
+
+@item FcObjectType
+
+@example
+ typedef struct _FcObjectType @{
+ const char *object;
+ FcType type;
+ @} FcObjectType;
+@end example
+marks the type of a pattern element generated when parsing font names.
+Applications can add new object types so that font names may contain the new
+elements.
+
+@item FcConstant
+
+@example
+ typedef struct _FcConstant @{
+ const FcChar8 *name;
+ const char *object;
+ int value;
+ @} FcConstant;
+@end example
+Provides for symbolic constants for new pattern elements. When 'name' is
+seen in a font name, an 'object' element is created with value 'value'.
+
+@item FcBlanks
+holds a list of Unicode chars which are expected to be blank; unexpectedly
+blank chars are assumed to be invalid and are elided from the charset
+associated with the font.
+
+@item FcFileCache
+holds the per-user cache information for use while loading the font
+database. This is built automatically for the current configuration when
+that is loaded. Applications must always pass '0' when one is requested.
+
+@item FcConfig
+holds a complete configuration of the library; there is one default
+configuration, other can be constructed from XML data structures. All
+public entry points that need global data can take an optional FcConfig*
+argument; passing 0 uses the default configuration. FcConfig objects hold two
+sets of fonts, the first contains those specified by the configuration, the
+second set holds those added by the application at run-time. Interfaces
+that need to reference a particulat set use one of the FcSetName enumerated
+values.
+
+@item FcSetName
+Specifies one of the two sets of fonts available in a configuration;
+FcSetSystem for those fonts specified in the configuration and
+FcSetApplication which holds fonts provided by the application.
+
+@item FcResult
+Used as a return type for functions manipulating FcPattern objects.
+
+@example
+Result code Meaning
+FcResultMatch Object exists with the specified ID
+FcResultNoMatch Object doesn't exist at all
+FcResultTypeMismatch Object exists, but the type doesn't match
+FcResultNoId Object exists, but has fewer values than specified
+@end example
+
+@item FcAtomic
+Used for locking access to config files. Provides a safe way to update
+configuration files.
+
+@item FcMatchKind
+An enumeration containing @code{FcMatchPattern} and @code{FcMatchFont}.
+
+@item FcLangResult
+An enumeration containing @code{FcLangEqual}, @code{FcLangDifferentCountry},
+and @code{FcLangDifferentLang}. Presumably @code{FcLangDifferentLang}
+implies @code{FcLangDifferentCountry}.

+@end deftypefun

+@end deftypefun

+
+These are convenience functions that call FcPatternGet and verify that the

+@item
+Object name, a string describing the property to be added.
+@item

+@item
+Value, not an FcValue, but the raw type as passed to any of the
+FcPatternAdd<type> functions. Must match the type of the second
+argument.
+@end enumerate
+
+The argument list is terminated by a null object name, no object type nor
+value need be passed for this. The values are added to `pattern', if

+returned. Example:
+
+@example
+pattern = FcPatternBuild (0, FC_FAMILY, FtTypeString, "Times", (char *) 0);

+@node Configuration File Format, Files, The fontconfig API, Top
+@chapter 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
+(a)samp{fonts.dtd}; this is normally stored in the default font configuration
+directory (@file{/etc/fonts}). Each configuration file should contain the
+following structure:
+
+@example
+ <?xml version="1.0"?>
+ <!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd">
+ <fontconfig>
+ ...
+ </fontconfig>
+@end example
+
+@table @samp
+@item <fontconfig>
+This is the top level element for a font configuration and can contain
+@samp{<dir>}, @samp{<cache>}, @samp{<include>}, @samp{<match>}
and @samp{<alias>} elements in any order.
+
+@item <dir>
+This element contains a directory name which will be scanned for font files
+to include in the set of available fonts. The scan does not recurse into
+subdirectories.
+
+@item <cache>
+This element contains a file name for the per-user cache of font
+information. If it starts with '~', it refers to a file in the users
+home directory. This file is used to hold information about fonts that
+isn't present in the per-directory cache files. It is automatically
+maintained by the fontconfig library. The default for this file
+is ``~/.fonts.cache-<version>'', where <version> is the font
configuration
+file version number (currently 1).
+
+@item <include ignore_missing="no">
+This element contains the name of an additional configuration file. When
+the XML datatype is traversed by FcConfigParse, the contents of the file
+will also be incorporated into the configuration by passing the filename to
+FcConfigLoadAndParse. If 'ignore_missing' is set to "yes" instead of
the
+default "no", a missing file will elicit no warning message from the library.
+
+@item <config>
+This element provides a place to consolidate additional configuration
+information. @samp{<config>} can contain @samp{<blank>} and
@samp{<rescan>} elements in any
+order.
+
+@item <blank>
+Fonts often include "broken" glyphs which appear in the encoding but are
+drawn as blanks on the screen. Within the @samp{<blank>} element, place each
+Unicode characters which is supposed to be blank in an @samp{<int>} element.
+Characters outside of this set which are drawn as blank will be elided from
+the set of characters supported by the font.
+
+@item <rescan>
+The @samp{<rescan>} element holds an @samp{<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.
+
+@item <match target="pattern">
+This element holds first a (possibly empty) list of @samp{<test>} elements and
then
+a (possibly empty) list of @samp{<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.
+
+@item <test qual="any" name="property" compare="eq">
+This element contains a single value which is compared with the pattern
+property "property" (substitute any of the property names seen
+above). 'compare' can be one of "eq", "not_eq",
"less", "less_eq", "more", or
+"more_eq". '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.
+
+@item <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 @samp{<test>} elements,
if so, the
+modification may affect the first matched value. Any values inserted into
+the property are given the indicated binding. 'mode' is one of:
+
+@example
+Mode Operation with match Operation without match
+
+"assign" Replace matching value Replace all values
+"assign_replace" Replace all values Replace all values
+"prepend" Insert before matching value Insert at head of list
+"prepend_first" Insert at head of list Insert at head of list
+"append" Append after matching value Append at end of list
+"append_last" Append at end of list Append at end of list
+@end example
+
+@item <int>
+@itemx <double>
+@itemx <string>
+@itemx <bool>
+These elements hold a single value of the indicated type. @samp{<bool>} elements
+hold either true or false.
+
+@item <matrix>
+
+This element holds the four @samp{<double>} elements of an affine transformation.
+
+@item <name>
+Holds a property name. Evaluates to the first value from the property of
+the font, not the pattern.
+
+@item <const>
+Holds the name of a constant; these are always integers and serve as
+symbolic names for common font values:
+
+@example
+Constant Property CPP symbol
+
+light weight FC_WEIGHT_LIGHT
+medium weight FC_WEIGHT_MEDIUM
+demibold weight FC_WEIGHT_DEMIBOLD
+bold weight FC_WEIGHT_BOLD
+black weight FC_WEIGHT_BLACK
+roman slant FC_SLANT_ROMAN
+italic slant FC_SLANT_ITALIC
+oblique slant FC_SLANT_OBLIQUE
+proportional spacing FC_PROPORTIONAL
+mono spacing FC_MONO
+charcell spacing FC_CHARCELL
+unknown rgba FC_RGBA_UNKNOWN
+rgb rgba FC_RGBA_RGB
+bgr rgba FC_RGBA_BGR
+vrgb rgba FC_RGBA_VRGB
+vbgr rgba FC_RGBA_VBGR
+none rgba FC_RGBA_NONE
+@end example
+
+@item <or>
+@itemx <and>
+@itemx <plus>
+@itemx <minus>
+@itemx <times>
+@itemx <divide>
+These elements perform the specified operation on a list of expression
+elements. @samp{<or>} and @samp{<and>} are boolean, not bitwise.
+
+@item <eq>
+@itemx <not_eq>
+@itemx <less>
+@itemx <less_eq>
+@itemx <more>
+@itemx <more_eq>
+These elements compare two values, producing a boolean result.
+
+@item <not>
+Inverts the boolean sense of its one expression element
+
+@item <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.
+
+@item <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
+@samp{<family>} element followed by optional @samp{<prefer>},
@samp{<accept>} and @samp{<default>}
+elements. Fonts matching the @samp{<family>} element are edited to prepend the
+list of @samp{<prefer>}ed families before the matching @samp{<family>},
append the
+@samp{<accept>}able families after the matching @samp{<family>} and append
the @samp{<default>}
+families to the end of the family list.
+
+@item <family>
+Holds a single font family name
+
+@item <prefer>
+@itemx <accept>
+@itemx <default>
+These each hold a list of @samp{<family>} elements to be used by the
@samp{<alias>}
+element.
