ElixirFontDiscovery (elixir_font_discovery v0.1.1)

Copy Markdown View Source

Resolves installed font families through the host operating system.

Linux uses Fontconfig, macOS uses CoreText, and Windows uses DirectWrite. Published releases download a verified precompiled native library, so callers do not need Rust or a native compiler.

Generic families such as sans-serif, serif, and monospace are resolved by the operating system.

weight must be between 1 and 1000. The accepted styles are :normal, :italic, and :oblique. The returned family, weight, and style describe the face selected by the operating system, which can differ from the request.
