NAME
FcFontSetSort - Return list of matching fonts
SYNOPSIS
#include <fontconfig/fontconfig.h>
FcFontSet * FcFontSetSort (FcConfig *config, FcFontSet **sets, int nsets, FcPattern *pattern, FcBool trim, FcCharSet **csp, FcResult *result);
DESCRIPTION
Returns the list of fonts from sets sorted by closeness to pattern. If
trim is FcTrue, elements in the list which don't include Unicode
coverage not provided by earlier elements in the list are elided. The
union of Unicode coverage of all of the fonts is returned in csp, if
csp is not NULL. This function should be called only after
FcConfigSubstitute and FcDefaultSubstitute have been called for p;
otherwise the results will not be correct.
The returned FcFontSet references FcPattern structures which may be
shared by the return value from multiple FcFontSort calls, applications
cannot modify these patterns. Instead, they should be passed, along
with pattern to FcFontRenderPrepare which combines them into a complete
pattern.
The FcFontSet returned by FcFontSetSort is destroyed by calling
FcFontSetDestroy.
