Thomson Jr. <wlt-ml@o-sinc.com>"> William L. Thomson Jr.</a> <pre>Maybe better suited for mailing list. What I thinking of as a feature enhancement to fontconfig would be something as such. Binary name maybe fc-current Program A requests Sans font fc-match Sans DejaVuSans.ttf: "DejaVu Sans" "Book" It an env/temp file, fontconfig stores A:DejaVu Sans Or something like that, and other programs. A:DejaVu Sans B:Noto Sans C:DejaVu Sans Mono Then if something else wants to see what fonts any of those programs, A, B, C is using, they can call fc-current A Which would return output like fc-match, but from the previously returned value. It may even be used by fc-match on subsequent requests from same program for same font. Hope that makes more sense.</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
