When I do
const char *font_name = "sans-serif";
FcInit();
FcPattern *fc_pattern = FcNameParse((FcChar8 *)font_name);
FcConfigSubstitute(0, fc_pattern, FcMatchPattern);
FcDefaultSubstitute(fc_pattern);
fc_pattern = FcFontMatch(0, fc_pattern, 0);
FcChar8 *s;
FcPatternGetString(fc_pattern, FC_FILE, 0, &s);
fprintf(stderr, "font '%s'\n", s);//XXX
free(fc_pattern);
FcFini();
it prints
font '/usr/share/fonts/truetype/arial.ttf'
which looks good. However, when I use "courier" instead of "sans-serif", I get
font '/usr/share/fonts/URW/n022003l.pfb'
which is not a truetype font and therefore can't be used with VDR's font
rendering.
Is there a way to make fontconfig only return truetype fonts?
Also: is there a way to get a list of available truetype fonts from
fontconfig? That's what would be needed to allow the user to select
a desired font in VDR's Setup/OSD menu.
