34 @DESC@
35 Scans a single file and adds all fonts found to <parameter>set</parameter>.
36 If <parameter>force</parameter> is FcTrue, then the file is scanned even if
37 associated information is found in <parameter>cache</parameter>. If
38 <parameter>file</parameter> is a directory, it is added to
39 <parameter>dirs</parameter>. Whether fonts are found depends on fontconfig
40 policy as well as the current configuration. Internally, fontconfig will
41 ignore BDF and PCF fonts which are not in Unicode (or the effectively
42 equivalent ISO Latin-1) encoding as those are not usable by Unicode-based
43 applications. The configuration can ignore fonts based on filename or
44 contents of the font file itself. Returns FcFalse if any of the fonts cannot be
45 added (due to allocation failure). Otherwise returns FcTrue.

67 This function does nothing aside from returning FcFalse. It used to scan an
68 entire directory and add all fonts found to
69 <parameter>set</parameter>. If <parameter>force</parameter> was FcTrue, then
70 the directory and all files within it were scanned even if information was
71 present in the per-directory cache file or <parameter>cache</parameter>. Any
72 subdirectories found were added to <parameter>dirs</parameter>.

82 This function now does nothing aside from returning FcFalse. It used to creates the
83 per-directory cache file for <parameter>dir</parameter> and populates it
84 with the fonts in <parameter>set</parameter> and subdirectories in
85 <parameter>dirs</parameter>. All of this functionality is now automatically
86 managed by FcDirCacheLoad and FcDirCacheRead.
