Description Akira TAGOH 2011-11-30 01:31:41 UTC 
We can have a look at FcPattern on the output with FcPatternPrint() though, there are no way to peek around it programmatically. there are no function what kind of objects FcPattern has, so one can't obtain the objects efficiently with FcPatternGet*(). that would be nice if there are any API available for that purpose.
Comment 1 Behdad Esfahbod 2012-02-21 19:34:12 UTC 
Yes, I agree that this is a gap in the API.
Comment 2 Akira TAGOH 2012-09-11 06:04:11 UTC 
the proposed changes to add some APIs to obtain things from FcPattern:

Comment 3 Akira TAGOH 2018-05-11 13:21:29 UTC 
merged this changes with  some clean up and bug fixes because of the need of access to FcPattern iteratively.
