<para>
Fontconfig uses abstract datatypes to hide internal implementation details
for most data structures. A few structures are exposed where appropriate.
</para>
<sect2><title>FcChar8, FcChar16, FcChar32, FcBool</title>
- <para>
These are primitive datatypes; the FcChar* types hold precisely the number
of bits stated (if supported by the C implementation). FcBool holds
one of two CPP symbols: FcFalse or FcTrue.
- </para>

</sect2>
<sect2><title>FcMatrix</title>
<para>
An FcMatrix holds an affine transformation, usually used to reshape glyphs.
A small set of matrix operations are provided to manipulate these.

+ <sect2><title>FcLangSet</title>
+ <para>
+An FcLangSet is an abstract type that holds the set of languages supported
+by a font. Operations to build and compare these sets are provided. These
+are computed for a font based on orthographic information built into the
+fontconfig library. Fontconfig has orthographies for all of the ISO 639-1
+languages except for MS, NA, PA, PS, QU, RN, RW, SD, SG, SN, SU and ZA. If
+you have orthographic information for any of these languages, please submit
+them.
+ </para>
+ </sect2>
+ <sect2><title>FcLangResult</title>
+ <para>
+An FcLangResult is an enumeration used to return the results of comparing
+two language strings or FcLangSet objects. FcLangEqual means the
+objects match language and territory. FcLangDifferentTerritory means
+the objects match in language but differ in territory.
+FcLangDifferentLang means the objects differ in language.

<para>
holds a set of names with associated value lists; each name refers to a
property of a font. FcPatterns are used as inputs to the matching code as
well as holding information about specific fonts. Each property can hold
one or more values; conventionally all of the same type, although the
interface doesn't demand that.
