Fontconfig - Jan 2010 - Check for the existence of a glyph in a font

Is there anything in fontconfig''s library routines that might help me
check
whether a font provides a glyph that matches a given Unicode code point?

Or am I barking the wrong tree and should look elsewhere?

Thanks,

Gen-Paul.

fc-query/fc-scan will list missing codepoints in a font file in debug mode, so
I suppose the routines exists within fontconfig.

Sure, FcFreeTypeQuery() the font and then FcPatternGetCharSet() the FC_CHARSET
element and then FcCharSetHasChar() it.

Hi, Gen-Paul,

For what it is worth, I created a command-line utility that will tell
you precisely about font coverage:

         Fontaine
         http://unifont.org/fontaine/
         svn co https://fontaine.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/fontaine

Sample usage:

        fontaine --text --hide-fragmentary --show-missing some_font.ttf

Best - Ed

Last thing I expected.

I was planning to writing a couple of quick and dirty scripts/programs 
to analyze
the contents of font files, and well.. looks like it''s my lucky day. 
Especially since I
have access to the source and will be able to modify it should I needs 
arise that
are not covered.

I hope this great utility gets a lot of exposure and will tickle the 
fancy of the debian
developers so it becomes available via their repositories.

Thank you very much for taking the time to reply to my post.

Gen-Paul.

If you want to perform some form of QA on font files we''ve written a
test suite fedora-side (a bit rpm-oriented, but should be generalizable)
