33@PURPOSE@ scan a font file
34@DESC@
35Scans a single file and adds all fonts found to <parameter>set</parameter>.
36If <parameter>force</parameter> is FcTrue, then the file is scanned even if
37associated information is found in <parameter>cache</parameter>. If
38<parameter>file</parameter> is a directory, it is added to
2ddce88c 39<parameter>dirs</parameter>. Whether fonts are found depends on fontconfig

40policy as well as the current configuration. Internally, fontconfig will
41ignore BDF and PCF fonts which are not in Unicode (or the effectively
42equivalent ISO Latin-1) encoding as those are not usable by Unicode-based
43applications. The configuration can ignore fonts based on filename or
44contents of the font file itself.

68the directory and all files within it are scanned even if information is
69present in the per-directory cache file or <parameter>cache</parameter>. Any
