622c393a42Smrg><P
632c393a42Smrg>Fontconfig contains two essential modules, the configuration module which
642c393a42Smrgbuilds an internal configuration from XML files and the matching module
652c393a42Smrgwhich accepts font patterns and returns the nearest matching font.

732c393a42Smrg>Font Configuration</H3
742c393a42Smrg><P
752c393a42Smrg>The configuration module consists of the FcConfig datatype, libexpat and
762c393a42SmrgFcConfigParse which walks over an XML tree and amends a configuration with
772c393a42Smrgdata found within.  From an external perspective, configuration of the
782c393a42Smrglibrary consists of generating a valid XML tree and feeding that to
792c393a42SmrgFcConfigParse.  The only other mechanism provided to applications for
802c393a42Smrgchanging the running configuration is to add fonts and directories to the
812c393a42Smrglist of application-provided font files.  
822c393a42Smrg    </P
832c393a42Smrg><P
842c393a42Smrg>The intent is to make font configurations relatively static, and shared by
852c393a42Smrgas many applications as possible.  It is hoped that this will lead to more
862c393a42Smrgstable font selection when passing names from one application to another.
872c393a42SmrgXML was chosen as a configuration file format because it provides a format
882c393a42Smrgwhich is easy for external agents to edit while retaining the correct
892c393a42Smrgstructure and syntax.
902c393a42Smrg    </P
912c393a42Smrg><P
922c393a42Smrg>Font configuration is separate from font matching; applications needing to
932c393a42Smrgdo their own matching can access the available fonts from the library and
942c393a42Smrgperform private matching.  The intent is to permit applications to pick and
952c393a42Smrgchoose appropriate functionality from the library instead of forcing them to
962c393a42Smrgchoose between this library and a private configuration mechanism.  The hope
972c393a42Smrgis that this will ensure that configuration of fonts for all applications
982c393a42Smrgcan be centralized in one place.  Centralizing font configuration will
992c393a42Smrgsimplify and regularize font installation and customization.

1092c393a42Smrg><P
1102c393a42Smrg>While font patterns may contain essentially any properties, there are some
1112c393a42Smrgwell known properties with associated types.  Fontconfig uses some of these
1122c393a42Smrgproperties for font matching and font completion.  Others are provided as a
1132c393a42Smrgconvenience for the applications' rendering mechanism.

1672c393a42Smrg>Fontconfig performs matching by measuring the distance from a provided
1682c393a42Smrgpattern to all of the available fonts in the system.  The closest matching
1692c393a42Smrgfont is selected.  This ensures that a font will always be returned, but
1702c393a42Smrgdoesn't ensure that it is anything like the requested pattern.

1742c393a42SmrgFont matching starts with an application constructed pattern.  The desired
1752c393a42Smrgattributes of the resulting font are collected together in a pattern.  Each
1762c393a42Smrgproperty of the pattern can contain one or more values; these are listed in
1772c393a42Smrgpriority order; matches earlier in the list are considered "closer" than
1782c393a42Smrgmatches later in the list.
1792c393a42Smrg    </P

1812c393a42Smrg>The initial pattern is modified by applying the list of editing instructions
1822c393a42Smrgspecific to patterns found in the configuration; each consists of a match
1832c393a42Smrgpredicate and a set of editing operations.  They are executed in the order
1842c393a42Smrgthey appeared in the configuration.  Each match causes the associated
1852c393a42Smrgsequence of editing operations to be applied.

1872c393a42Smrg><P
1882c393a42Smrg>After the pattern has been edited, a sequence of default substitutions are
1892c393a42Smrgperformed to canonicalize the set of available properties; this avoids the
1902c393a42Smrgneed for the lower layers to constantly provide default values for various

1942c393a42Smrg>The canonical font pattern is finally matched against all available fonts.
1952c393a42SmrgThe distance from the pattern to the font is measured for each of several
1962c393a42Smrgproperties: foundry, charset, family, lang, spacing, pixelsize, style,
1972c393a42Smrgslant, weight, antialias, rasterizer and outline.  This list is in priority
1982c393a42Smrgorder -- results of comparing earlier elements of this list weigh more
1992c393a42Smrgheavily than later elements.

2022c393a42Smrg>There is one special case to this rule; family names are split into two
2032c393a42Smrgbindings; strong and weak.  Strong family names are given greater precedence
2042c393a42Smrgin the match than lang elements while weak family names are given lower
2052c393a42Smrgprecedence than lang elements.  This permits the document language to drive
2062c393a42Smrgfont selection when any document specified font is unavailable.

2082c393a42Smrg><P
2092c393a42Smrg>The pattern representing that font is augmented to include any properties

2112c393a42Smrgapplication to pass rendering instructions or any other data through the
2122c393a42Smrgmatching system.  Finally, the list of editing instructions specific to
2132c393a42Smrgfonts found in the configuration are applied to the pattern.  This modified
