fontconfig-rs
A wrapper around freedesktop.org's fontconfig library, for locating fonts on a UNIX like systems such as Linux and FreeBSD. Requires fontconfig to be installed.
Dependencies
- Arch Linux:
fontconfig
- Debian-based systems:
libfontconfig1-dev
- FreeBSD:
fontconfig
- Void Linux:
fontconfig-devel
Usage
Cargo.toml:
[dependencies]
yeslogic-fontconfig = "0.1.0"
main.rs:
use fontconfig::Fontconfig;
fn main() {
let fc = Fontconfig::new().unwrap();
// `Fontconfig::find()` returns `Option` (will rarely be `None` but still could be)
let font = fc.find("freeserif", None).unwrap();
// `name` is a `String`, `path` is a `Path`
println!("Name: {}\nPath: {}", font.name, font.path.display());
}
You could then, for example, use font.path
to create a GlyphCache
from opengl_graphics
and pass it to conrod
.
Other Fontconfig Crates
- servo-fontconfig — This crate provides a low-level interface only. It depends on servo-fontconfig-sys, which will fall back to building a vendored version of Fontconfig if a compatible version can't be found. It in turn depends on expat-sys, which does the same thing regarding a vendored version of Expat. This makes it easier if you are distributing a code base that needs Fontconfig but provides less control over the libraries that will be used.
- fontconfig + fontconfig-sys — These crates have not been updated since Dec 2014.
For our needs in Prince we wanted higher-level bindings that did not fall back on vendored versions of libraries, which is what the crates in this repo provide.
