14
16 This function extracts a character range from a font and returns a new
17 font that contains only the range of characters selected by this func‐
18 tion. You can pass -1 for either the lower or upper bound if you want
19 to select all characters from the start or to the end of the font.
20 Example:
21
22 FONT *myfont;
23 FONT *capitals;
24 FONT *fontcopy;
25 ...
26 /* Create a font of only capital letters */
27 capitals = extract_font_range(myfont, 'A', 'Z');
28
29 /* Create a copy of the font */
30 fontcopy = extract_font_range(myfont, -1, -1);
31 ...
32 destroy_font(capitals);
33 destroy_font(fontcopy);
34
36 Returns a pointer to the new font or NULL on error. Remember that you
37 are responsible for destroying the font when you are finished with it
38 to avoid memory leaks.
