Package: cairo
Function cairo:select-font-face
Lambda Listcairo:select-font-face (cr family &key slant weight) ArgumentsDetails
Selects a family and style of font from a simplified description as a
family name, slant and weight.
Cairo provides no operation to list available family names on the system,
this is a "toy", remember, but the standard CSS2 generic family names,
"serif", "sans-serif", "cursive", "fantasy", "monospace", are
likely to work as expected. If family starts with the string "cairo:", or if no native font backends are compiled in, Cairo will use an internal font family. The internal font family recognizes many modifiers in the family string, most notably, it recognizes the string "monospace". That is, the family name "cairo:monospace" will use the monospace version of the internal font family. If text is drawn without a call to the cairo:select-font-face function, nor the cairo:font-face function nor the cairo:scaled-font function, the default family is platform-specific, but is essentially "sans-serif". Default slant is :normal, and default weight is :normal. This function is equivalent to a call to the cairo:toy-font-face-create function followed by the cairo:font-face function. Notes | See also |
