hb-face

hb-face — Font face objects

Functions

Types and Values

typedef hb_face_t

Includes

#include <hb.h>

Description

A font face is an object that represents a single face from within a font family.

More precisely, a font face represents a single face in a binary font file. Font faces are typically built from a binary blob and a face index. Font faces are used to create fonts.

Functions

hb_face_count ()

unsigned int
hb_face_count (hb_blob_t *blob);

Fetches the number of faces in a blob.

Parameters

blob

a blob.

 

Returns

Number of faces in blob

Since: 1.7.7


hb_face_create ()

hb_face_t *
hb_face_create (hb_blob_t *blob,
                unsigned int index);

Constructs a new face object from the specified blob and a face index into that blob. This is used for blobs of file formats such as Dfont and TTC that can contain more than one face.

[Xconstructor]

Parameters

blob

hb_blob_t to work upon

 

index

The index of the face within blob

 

Returns

The new face object.

hb_face_create_for_tables ()

hb_face_t *
hb_face_create_for_tables (hb_reference_table_func_t reference_table_func,
                           void *user_data,
                           hb_destroy_func_t destroy);

Variant of hb_face_create(), built for those cases where it is more convenient to provide data for individual tables instead of the whole font data. With the caveat that hb_face_get_table_tags() does not currently work with faces created this way.

Creates a new face object from the specified user_data and reference_table_func , with the destroy callback.

Parameters

reference_table_func

Table-referencing function.

[closure user_data][destroy destroy][scope notified]

user_data

A pointer to the user data

 

destroy

A callback to call when data is not needed anymore.

[optional]

Returns

The new face object.
