NAME
     FcFileScan - scan a font file

SYNOPSIS
     cc [ flag... ] file... -lfontconfig [ library... ]
     #include 

     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.

VERSION
     Fontconfig version 2.8.0
