Re: Loading font directly from font file

[Pradeep Botu <pradeep botu82 gmail com>]

 

  Thanks for prompt reply. I have done the same thing.
  And then i have extracted FcPattern from font file using FcFreeTypeQuery.
  Using FcPattern i have created FontDescription.

  I have another requirement. I need to load a font file from memory.
  ie, I need to lkoad font file data from memory I have provided.
  Can I extract FcPattern from buffer or do I have any other way.

Use FcConfigAppFontAddFile to add your font to the database before using Pango.
